Wasn't a sympathy exercise, just an acknowledgement of you having a lot
on your plate, as many of us do.

The only instant response I was expecting was "yup - I'm busy, somebody
else please do this stuff".

If you can't that's fine, but I need to know so I can get other people
on it.

Really, just drop the WYLUG responsibilities for a while. We can all see
you need to clear the decks a bit. You're a valued member of the WYLUG
community but like for many other folks, other stuff comes up and
pushes it down the list.

(... and it really is fine, we'll manage, just glad you're there!)

Good idea if you're not able to participate. I'm not meaning that in any
way other that it's what I'd do if I was snowed under with crap.
