Congratulations!
Sorry that you'll be leaving, but that's an opportunity you just can't turn down. Heck, I think _I'd_ move to Chicago for that much of an increase.
Once more, Ansteorra goes forth to colonize the Knowne Worlde. :)
Though I'm sure I'll see you before your ultimate departure, good luck and godspeed.
