Actually I have expected this for a while. I cannot imagine how anyone can keep as many story threads as you do going at one time. With all of those characters running around willy nilly in your head I am surprised you haven't run screaming for the woods years ago, shedding computers, cell phones, tablets and even the occasional typewriter like so much flotsam from a dying starship.

I will be patiently waiting with the rest of your fans for your return.

Cheers!
