What, noo! OK, here's the deal, nobody upvotes this submission so he doesn't go over 50K karma :-) I never corresponded with jacquesm personally but in my relatively brief time in HN came to enormously appreciate his thoughtful and knowledgeable comments, his calm, anti-flame tone, but most importantly his generosity with ideas. I am perplexed by this decision, though. I spend one to two hours per day on HN on average, assuming he does more, it's a good chunk of time. Yet, isn't stopping contributing altogether somewhat drastic? I think HN needs all the mentoring it can get and hope that this does not become a trend. As they say: "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!"
