I'm not too sure if you know me by name or anything yet, but I was one of the 1 1/2 year-ers on 810 this year. I wasn't too involved in a lot of the building, but watching you work was definately a pleasure.

I'm going to go outright to say that from what I've heard in Annapolis, to what's going on right now on this message board, and how you're treated by other "team" members is simply unacceptable.

I, and many others who contributed (or attempted to keep up!) to the team, do not hold any hostility towards you, and truly, honestly, with full respect as a human being, and not something to be toyed around with, extend our thanks.

I definately respect your decision to leave the team, I would do the same in your spot. But thanks for all your donations, allocations and perspirations, and most of all, putting up with a lot of the irrevelant banter about you, which shouldn't even play a role in FIRST as is.

Although our San Jose competition is cancelled and I won't be able to see much action for the bot, I do appreciate your help along with that of all the others who have contributed, unlike some, who continue to be as a detrimental ivy on a still growing sapling.

Titles are irrevelant, actions are what make the person.

Thanks, Michael.
