Our friend John Gunning is taking a break from social media : r/Sumo (reddit.com) Quote I’m taking a three year break from social media to focus on some real world projects that need my full attention. All these accounts will remain active so if anyone needs to contact me they can send a private message as normal. See you in 2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some projects wrapped up quicker than expected and others fell at the planning stage. Combined it's meant that I actually have the kind of time to post and read that I didn't expect until next year. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
