Part of "give it to someone else" is difficult, and part isn't too difficult. The difficult part is the physical presence. I'll see if we can do anything with that, too.
Let's face something else, too. Piratecat has, for years, put in hours and hours and hours of extra effort beyond what one could expect. If things are harder right now, then "a friend" doesn't chide and embarrass the guy in public. A friend shows concern and tries to help shoulder the load. We're working on that, and if you have no interest in doing that, then please stand aside.
