| Looks like I'm late to the party. Anyway, thanks for all of the hard work you've done over the years. I don't know how we're going to keep up with all of the unverified claims and POV pushing without you. Not that you really need it, but... | |||

| :Well deserved. I hope your retirement is more like a wikibreak. Or if not, I hope you are enjoying retirement. :) Best. ] (]) 04:20, 31 December 2023 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thanks for the nomination, and I do appreciate it very much. Yes, I am enjoying my wiki-retirement immensely, though I do miss the good people I interacted with. I'm still reading WP articles, and get email alerts when someone posts here. But I don't plan on returning to editing, save for creating a few needed wikilinks when I find the need in my Kindle reading. ] (]) 05:23, 31 December 2023 (UTC) | |||
| :::Hey Bill, it's nice to see you pop-in and comment, and also hear you're stiil keeping some tabs on the place. It's also good to hear you're enjoying your break, (but the place isn't the same withouy ya'). But anyway, congrats on the award! I agree that it is well-deserved. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and I hope 2024 is a great year. Cheers - ] 07:43, 31 December 2023 (UTC) | |||

| I had noticed an absence of your edits, and just now snooped to investigate. Though we didn't interact all that much (given my rather slender edit count), I am sorry to know you're leaving. As you slip the (sometimes surly) bonds of Misplaced Pages, I wish you well. ] (]) 05:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
