I can't post most of the e-mail because it isn't meant for public consumption, but one paragraph does seem relevant:

Please pass on a hello and best wishes from me to all of the UFies on the board. I miss lurking and reading the banter and chatter and even the heated and impassioned flame-fests because no matter what this group always bounces back and reverts to caring. There are times that I could have used a big geek security blanket. Anyway please ask everyone to take care.
