Aloha Jambunathan K,
It is good to have you back. The Org-mode community is poorer without
you.
Please understand that the Org-mode community is a community of
volunteers, committed to the cause of interesting and useful software.
When one of us contributes, as you have so generously, the contribution
represents commitment to that cause.
I have nothing but admiration for the contributions of Lennart Borgman
and Bastien Guerry. I am eager to see what they will contribute
next. I hope that you'll join me in expressing gratitude for all that they
have contributed and that, like me, you'll encourage them to contribute
as the spirit moves them.
I don't see any other way a community of volunteers can move forward.
All the best,
Tom
