As someone who has attempted all the current series of problems (some
several times) I find this sad news indeed. We owe Dan a collective vote of

It is a pity it leaves our good ship adrift somewhere in the north Pacific,
hopefully the (collective?) means can be found to at least bring her to a
safe port.
