Thanks, and good luck Ian.
I'll echo the comments of others that there exists a compromise where you can still read and post, but not provide knowledgeable, but free immigration advice to tens of potential immigrants every day.

Re: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen!
Nooo!
I can believe this! Yes, you certainly deserve a break from all the BE immigration questions. (AND the questioners, some of whom are amazingly insensitive, thin-skinned obsessives ready to blame anyone but themselves for their various problems...)
So you're a human being! That's surely no reason to refrain from posting...in fact all the more reason TO post--in the non-immigration parts of BE....
Completely agree.
It now also seems that a number of my recent posts have contained incorrect information, and that’s unconscionable... more so considering that I’ve admonished others for not posting correct information. I’ll be the first to admit that my memory isn’t as sharp as it was 20 years ago but I fear that my recent gaffs are becoming more common and are now a distraction to the members here – and I do not want to do a disservice to the members. Immigration is hard enough without me muddying the waters – and I apologize for that incorrect information. Also, lately, there have been a number of life distractions that have kept my focus elsewhere.
Completely agree.

Au revoir my dear Ian. I will miss you and your intolerance to bullshit. I think I choked coffee all over the keyboard with laughter on more than a few occasions because of you. My favourite post of yours was when you told some poor woman that her problems were due to low self-esteem! You were right of course.
I wish you well with your future plans. " Qui n’avance pas, recule” He who doesn't advance, goes back.

Well that's very sad for everyone here and those still to come. A few errors makes you human and admitting to them makes you a top bloke. I for one would love it if you hung around just to be a prick every now and then but real life is possibly more important to you 
so sorry to see you go.
