If I may ask, why did you desysop yourself? You were one of the best admins around. Can we still count on you for closing DRVs that don't require the sysop bit? Owen× ☎ 15:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OwenX: hi mate, thanks for the kind message. Pretty much for the reasons I touch on here. All things being equal I should be back next year at some point! Cheers, Daniel (talk) 19:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking forward to your return. Have a great time at the beach! Owen× ☎ 20:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
