Chroot, PF Admin for 7 years, is retiring. Few people can say they've been an integral part in PF's evolution like Chroot has.
Chroot was responsible for boosting PF's exposure in the early years by developing a connection between PF and some Usenet groups. That brilliant work allowed us to communicate with Usenet via PF. Chroot also developed our famous past LaTeX system. With it, I believe we were the first of the major communities to enable advanced equation representation. This was a major major step forward in PF's evolution. The system, so useful, was later copied by other communities.
Chroot has meant a lot to PF over the years and I personally owe him a great deal of gratitude. Many times he has dug deep and troubleshooted server problems. Over the years we talked about decisions with PF and so far everything has been a success. It is my sincere hope that Chroot maintains a presence here at PF. His value is no mystery!
So, now he joins the very exclusive Retired PF Staff club. Life is good
