Vernon ,over the years you have put more into the site than many others.
You have well earned a break, make bloody good use of it my friend.

With time differences seems i miss out at times with some of these Questions
Now with the difinite handing in of my dear Wifes Resignation in July, (At last she is going on full retirement) i will be now actually be refraining from any futher researching anyway, as i feel that i have done my bit over the Years i have been on site!
So will happily just leave it all alone now, and leave it in the capable hands of Hugh , and also Marian, there may also be something else in the Pipeline but will have to think on it! No more said!

I still think there are swings and roundabouts when it comes to enquiries in the different timezones and I also think the forum cannot have enough researchers - it is difficult for one or two at times albeit we all enjoy helping out.
I am getting deeper involved with other things too and I have just started a complete re-write of my website which is and will keep me busy for along time. I always will try and help if I can but time management is difficult at times.

I personally would wish that you would continue to be involved in research should you still wish to but I do appreciate that family always comes first and choices have to be made when timelines come along. Yes, you have done your bit over the years - I hope, you will continue to do a bit more

Regards
Hugh

Thank you for the reply Hugh, and yes i guess the site must have as much help as possible .
I will sit and think on the decision i have made and see if possibly later on i may get back to assisting where and when i can, but as you say Family comes first, and when my dear Wife retires in July, i wish to give her full attention that she so deserves.

I hope that the Re Write of your Website will go well, and as there is i know lots of work involved doing such a project , it will as you say take a lot of your time, but like you say we need the Help here on this site as much as possible, so hopefully you will still be able to handle two loads! LOL

So just for now, i will leave it there and see what transpires later on in the Year, who knows which way the Wind blows!

Thank you for all your present and past help here.
Cheers
