Hi Darrick,
It is still a bit of a surprise for me to hear this news, although
things seem to be changing so quickly these days.
Thank you for all the chats online over the years. I've always enjoyed
them. I wish we'd had a chance to meet in person.
I hope you have a great and well-deserved break.
Best Regards,
Gao Xiang
