Hi everyone,

I know I'm barely around as it is, but I just wanted to say I'll be ditching the
internet for a while.

I have to walk away. My mind and body are beginning to atrophy. I have become
distracted to the point that I no longer get anything accomplished!
Subsequently, my posts to the POV-Ray newsgroups have become fewer are farther
in-between.

So I'll be seeing y'all again... /sometime/ down the line. How far that is, who
knows :)

Happy POVving!

Sam

I though the idea of POV was that it would use the full machine for a 
long time. Forcing the user to find something else to do that does not 
involve a computer.

Your work here was always of high quality, so it really is a pity you 
won't be lighting up the space here anymore for the coming clock cycles.

Yep.  I know what it's like to be dealing with "too much input" causing 
too much distraction.  Some days, everything on the 'net seems "shiny" 
and in need of immediate attention.

Sad news for us POV'ers; your ideas and coding magic are always to be admired.
Rest up and come back! You'll be missed.

No doubt a wise decision, Sam. Still, we shall miss your very original 
input. The POV world will be poorer for your absence. Don't get lost in 
the forest and we shall be there to welcome you back.
