A great loss...
Today my good friend srod let me know that he is starting a new business venture unrelated to computers and that he doesn't believe he'll be returning to coding in the foreseeable future. Srod is one of the greats, a true friend to these forums and his loss is going to be felt by all of us. Please join me in wishing him a ton of success in his new business and let's hope the magical lure of Purebasic will prove too strong for him to resist. Here's to you, srod!

Srod's going 'the way of the Sparky'?
That's the reason why I cannot leave... nobody is going to miss me...
Anyway, if you're reading this, Srod, show your face once in a while!

Re: A great loss...
Srod, without your knowledge, your helpfulness, and your humor, this forum will not be the same as before. You'll be seriously missed! Thanks a lot for all you contributions.
Good luck and success for you personally, and for your new business!
Regards, Little John

Re: A great loss...
As a relative newcomer, I would also like to add my thanks to Srod and very best wishes for future success.
Many of my beginner's questions were answered by his previous forum posts and lots of problems solved by the excellent code samples.
