[Gtk-sharp-list] Leaving the Gtk# project

[Andy York]

Congratulations it sounds like you have bright future ahead of you. I 
have appreciated the work you have done, I may not ask a lot of 
questions but I read a lot answers and documentation and a great many of 
them were from you. I am just a simple ordinary MS programmer who like 
to do Mono/Gtk# programs for fun and you have helped make it fun.

Thanks
