I've pretty much accepted that my knowledge of this site and ability to fix things that are objectively wrong and/or outdated will never allow me to retire permanently. At this point, I'll be going in and out in terms of my levels of involvement. I'm still here and will respond to messages as soon as possible, just don't expect my contribution level to be as consistent as it once was.

TL;DR: In the words of James Dennis Hamlin, "Hell, I don't even know anymore." --Bcschneider53 (talk) 04:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
