I just read this post tonight (talk about real life getting in the way :-))

Jeff, it is sad to read this but not all that surprising. Life certainly did come crashing down on you and it was clear from following your Twitter stream that you had more important things on your hands. I would do the same in your situation.

Thanks for being one of the community's great enthusiasts. Your name has been in my RSS feeds for as long as I've been into blogging and WordPress.

Best of luck!
