"I shall not keep you long,..."
I have written this message for three Purposes! "First of all to tell
you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years
is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirrable
hobbits...I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and
I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
"Secondly, to celebrate our upcoming beta..."
"Third and finally, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. I regret to
announce that-though, as I said, eleventy-one years is far too short a
time to spend among you--this is the END. I am going. I am leaving
NOW. GOOD BYE!"
