It's been quite the journey guys. R&R has been in SF throughout my (and most others') existence on Bob. Eventually all must come to an end, it's been a real pleasure.
Eh, I don't see NPO dropping below 300 by this year's end. Last year this time they only had 30 more people than they do now, and that was with a full year of gap rather than half a year.
(Also, this day last year we were #23 :D)

(And I haven't lol'd at an announcement thread that much in a while, you guys couldn't have let it go on for a week at least? Show him how the other side lives?)
