My position at NRC IBD is undergoing a restructuring, in an attempt
to reduce my [unhealthily heavy] workload. [There are also concerns
about the ability to effectively supervise my very diverse work.]

My highest priorities have been set as Security and Networking,
[which *has* been the bulk of my work lately], and lower priority tasks
are to "fall off my plate" if need be. We are not sure how it is all
going to work out in practice.


To date, there has been only one specific time-reduction directive:
that I am, for the purposes of my job, to get out of the SGI-related
newsgroups entirely.


Unless something changes or gets re-prioritized, this will be my
last comp.sys.sgi.* posting from my work, and I will no longer be
accepting SGI-related questions / comments / whatever at my work email
address [except from my co-workers!]

I will not disappear entirely: at some point I will find a
reliable nntp server and will likely resubscribe to the groups
under a personal email address, reading them only from home in
my off-hours.


I have learned a lot from these newsgroups, and I've interacted with
a large number of talented and skilled people. Good-bye to you
all in my professional capacity! It's been a good ride.


I do not have the new accounts and feeds arranged quite yet. Until
then, I can be reached at roberson@hushmail.com.
