Hi Erick,
Thank you for this email. Wow, 40 years! I was always intrigued by your
programming longevity! Thank you for all your contributions. Any sailing
still going on? Enjoy part 2 :)

Erick -
All that puzzle solving (and sailing) has kept you young at heart, even if you
are an Old Timer. Your straightforward, no-nonsense, easy going ways in the
community and in the field onsite with extremely challenging customer
situations has inspired me and many others. All of our custo
Eric, thanks so much for your open and true words! You will always be
part of this community if you subscribed to the lists or not. (you
can't escape :D) Thanks for your contributions, this is a team effort
and you are a part of it.
enjoy the welding!!

Wow, I am also sorry to hear this news Erick. You have been such a massive
force in our community: your prolific personalized responses to
struggling users, your deep diving on truly tricky issues, your focus on
testing and founding the Bad Apple report, your incredible patience and

Hi Erick,
It's been a pleasure and an honor! I know nothing about squirrels or
tomatoes (except that the latter are tasty) but I do know about
hobbies so I wish you all the best with them!
If you indeed want to be a welder, I am sure that you'll become a good
one and probably end up teaching a fe
Hi Erick
thanks for your work you have done for the library world.
You were one of the people who made it possible to show libraries the
way to use search engines for their "discovery services".

Thank you for everything you've done for Lucene/Solr over the years Erick!
I sympathize with your squirrel situation... I tried to grow tomatoes the
first year when we moved into our house in NJ.
We had a small wire fence around the patch, but it was clearly insufficient
against the deer and squir
Thank you Erick for your guidance, mentorship and your contributions. I
hope to meet you over Activate, if you're planning to come over (whenever
it is organized again). I shall miss you very much. Have a great time, and
I hope you secure the tomatoes and come back to Solr soon. :-)

Hi Erick.
40 years is indeed amazing - I'm not sure I can keep up with the fast-paced
industry for that long ;)
Meanwhile, life is also long today, hope to see you again someday. Thank
you for all your contributions. I'll miss you as others will do so. Wish
you all the best.

Hey Erick!
I'm really happy to hear that you have found something that interests you
even more than programming and open source. It's been great pleasure
working with you all this while.

machine. I'm looking forward to seeing wha
I'm *really* sad to see you stepping away. You're a legend in
our community, especially with your tireless help to our users. And you're
truly a pleasure to work with and to simply know.
40 years is enough indeed... but... I'll make a last ditch selfish request
to help me come to grips with you
Good luck on getting rid of those squirrels, Erick. Maybe this will give
you inspiration for other ways to get rid of them. It was one of the
coolest talks I can remember attending.

Good luck and enjoy the welder. I did some welding many years ago, and it's
quite a cool thing to turn two bits of metal into a single piece. Hopefully
you've not had to learn about the UV emissions given off by the arc by
getting a good solid sunburn the way I did :).
The community will certainly
Hi Erick, I want just to say thank you for your help.
You have been one of the most present and reliable voices to listen in
the Community.
Thanks again for all your help and support, I wish you all the best.

Finding something that interests you even more is a great reason to move
forward, I wish you a lot of fun with the welder and hope the squirrels
will leave your tomatoes alone. Thank you for all your contributions and
your great community spirit.

Hi Erick!
I think open source should be a hobby. Then it's fun. And hobbies
change, as do people. 40 years is a lot of fun doing programming! But
then... you know, the welding machine sounds sooo exciting! :)
I'm really sad to see you switch interests, especially that I've
enjoyed working with yo
Erick,
I kept hoping to meet again at a future conference and have an
extended version of the talk we had the first time we met. It was very
valuable but I felt I only got a glimpse of what was possible.
Perhaps, one day, I can travel near your actual "nest" and buy you a
beer or two and listen to
Take care, Erick. Thanks for all your contributions. Lots of people will
miss you. I wish you all the best.

Your presence on the user mailing list will be sorely missed. You've
been an invaluable source of good advice for years. I owe you at least
$bignum beers.
Best of luck with the squirrel problem (they are rather tasty) and any
other fun projects!
Take care, and thank you,

Hey Eric,
Sad and happy to read your message. You've been a clear voice in the Lucene

That's the sad part.
The happy part is that those squirrels do need to learn and the electric
