Here it is...

I want to say the following; In short my time is no longer remotely attached to anything relating to winamp. I had a few sparks over the past year; nothing ever has come of those sparks. I tried collaboration a time or two with some others from the community both past and present.

I've finally, found that my contributions are no longer worthwhile in continuing. I may visit in the near future and will keep 1001skins running.

Beyond, that however; I have decided to move on. I don't use winamp and haven't for years. Though, it has a special place in my heart.

--------------
I am not saying goodbye as the future has never been so clear for me. I do miss many people that used to frequent this little neck of the woods.

I bow my hat to all that have stayed, all the leer out from the corners and will remember you all with fondness.

And so many more, my god...really so many more. 15 years of skins....

If I didn't write your name, sorry those are the ones I could remember and after all this time; I do believe my old ass is starting to slip. The best part of my days doing these skins, posting and working with all of you.

I've learned, I've banged my head, and now I do believe, I'm out of the game altogether.

Thank You,

Joe Garrett
