It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that I am leaving dA after twelve happy years here. The problem is the compulsory change to Eclipse. This is far from the first time that dA has sprung unsolicited changes on us, fixing what ain't broke while neglecting what is, but never before have they brought about such a drastic change, or to something so deeply inferior.
I would like to thank all of my watchers, and those who have faved my posts. I won't deactivate my account; I just won't be posting any more. I'll still log in occasionally to finish backing up my posts. I'll be at Twitter (temporarily, as Thomas Ahlswede) and Discord, as Chronophontes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On thanking faves: I like to! Even when I run into curmudgeons who actually object to being thanked.
However, I have the problem of being popular! Well, sort of. Not, thank God, popular enough to make enemies, but popular enough that I can't thank every fave. So as a compromise, I thank everyone who faves
and comments, and everyone who faves more than once during the period (typically four or five days) before the next time I go through and delete messages. So if you fave and don't get a thank-you, sorry, I thank you all!
