Really sad to hear this. It was quite fascinating to see how much 
you achieved in such small amount of time. Thanks for your work.
I planned to add a link to your site on my site 
(http://d-land.sepany.de/) but at the moment it is almost 
possible to find some time to do D in my spare time except 
reading the forum and write some posts from time to time.
I assume it is the same situation for many others in the 
community. It is really a time problem to do D activities beside 
the regular job and family activities.

I really hope you get back to D in the future.

Kind regards
Andre
