I have decided to semi retire. I will not really be working on any articles, but i will more act as a advisor to other editors who request help. I will not be part of any consensus making or any disagreements. I will only point to the relevant wikipedia policies with regard to whatever i am being asked to advise on.

The reason for me wanting to retire in the first place still stands and it is to do with the bureaucracy of what goes on behind the scenes at wikipedia and the fact even when you comply with wikipedia own policies you become the target of hate mail so to say. i have more in my life to do than worry about wikipedia, i have a family and i have a business these are more important than anything on this.

Just drop me a line on my User_talk:Andrewcrawford page and i will respond at some point but i can not say how it will take me to respond.
