I'm very sorry to hear that, Christian.

Christian,

I hope I'm hearing your words as worse than you mean them. I haven't
been on this list for long, but I've quickly learned to appreciate your
ingenuity, experience, and determination. I was going to tell you today
I ended up using your solution to my recent deduping problem
(sufficiently molded to my existing code, of course ;)--I really
appreciate your help with that!

If Stackless is truly gone, I pray you are able to find a new project or
group where you feel truly useful.

Hang in there,
