Ingebrigtsen: The End of Gmane?

And I have a great deal of empathy towards lars's burnout and desire to move on. Volunteerism fails in the face of billions of users, and constant adversity. As we get older, our ability to manage disturbances changes, the dull becomes tedious, and the idea of just sitting on a park bench, like bookends, beckons.

Years ago, I wrote about another guy that had burned out, badly, to whom we owe quite a bit:

and has since vanished from the Internet. I try to remember that story, and retain my essential optimism, but that often gets hard.

I hope more ways emerge to reward, sustain, and recognize people for selfless contributions to software of all sorts, and the internet long before they burn out on it.

To lars, a hug, and a thanks for keeping gmane going for so long. You have long been a hero of mine.
