Thank you very much for everything you have done for THP and for all the people whose work you have reviewed. You and David were among the first people to review the first patch I sent. Later, SJ, Zi Yan, Mark Brown, and many others also began helping me. Although I kept making mistakes, I genuinely wanted to learn enough to share some of the review and maintenance load that you have been carrying. I still have a great deal to learn, but I have started to slow down, think more carefully, and improve both the technical quality of my work and the way I submit it. The help I have received from the community means a lot to me, and your patience and reviews were an important part of that. I know none of this changes the workload that led you to step down, but reading this made me realize again how much time and care you gave to all of us. I will be at LPC this year, and I hope I can thank you in person. I will also be more disciplined about patch preparation, testing evidence, email formatting, revision history, and the overall submission and review workflow. I hope that, over time, I can take on a useful share of the work rather than add to it. Thank you again, Lorenzo. I will miss having you as a THP co-maintainer, though I am very glad that you will still be around. Thanks, Lian
