Untowards? Like vacation time or a sick day?

I'm handling support for Hero Designer now so that Dan can focus more on the technical side of the application as well as the Hero Games server, etc...

a) Dan doesnt take vacations. He goes on sabatical to Ireland to recharge his Guiness-based END Reserve, or to Martial Arts events where he demonstrates HERO Fu, making it nominally a business trip.

b) He also doesnt get sick because no illness can survive the strange mixture of Caffeine and alcohol which he has instead of blood.

Must be something else......

a) LOL -- and quit talking to my accountant!

b) Mental note: Killer Shrike knows too much....

I was afraid something like this would eventually happen. No slight on you Ben, your tops in my book, but having Dan active on this forum was a huge plus to me, and I personally am not happy about this turn of events.

It was a suggestion on my side which Ben was kind enough to accept.....I have been WAY too busy of late and this will help in a HUGE way.

Nah...I'm not going anywhere (except the aforementioned locations ;)).

Ben's going to be handling all of the day to day stuff....and filtering through everything so that I only have to deal with the actual bugs. Sucks to be Ben....great for me :D
