Shaun, I think I can speak for pretty much the entire OOTP community in wishing you good luck in your future endeavors.
I know many of us wish you could have joined forces with Markus to create a baseball sim superpower, but I can certainly understand the reasoning behind handing PureSim over to Wolverine instead.
Hopefully, the new PureSim (along with Mogul) will continue to push Markus and compel all of us on the beta/design team to maintain our commitment to OOTP's excellence.
Once again, best wishes to you!
