Dear Colleagues,
From March 1990 until recently it was my privilege to moderate the categories mailing list. For a couple of years it has been my intention to pass the list to a new moderator, but I was too slow to act. Changes to IT service at my former employer, Mount Allison University, abruptly made it impossible for me to continue running the list.
Those changes were unexpected for me, but I have been away from the campus for over three years and was not aware. The IT staff at Mount Allison have always been very supportive of the list and I thank them for their more than three decades of generous assistance.
It is a reassuring pleasure to know that the list is now in the capable hands of JS Lemay who kindly accepted the invitation to revive it. I am very grateful. Moreover, there is no one better suited to the role and our community is fortunate to have him moderating. I am also very happy that the new home of the list is Macquarie.
Best wishes to everyone. I am hoping to see many of you in the not distant future,
Bob Rosebrugh

Dear Bob,
many, many thanks for your visionary adventure, more than 30 years
ago, into the digital world of communication. This was not only a way of
connecting people with same interests, but also the installment of a
solid platform for the promotion of category theory and the exchange of
exciting new ideas.
I hope to see you soon (at CT 2024 or in Nice ?),
All the best,
Clemens.

What can I add to what's already been said? Only that I
appreciate everything you've done for category theory in
general and "Atlantic category theory" in particular:
Categories, TAC and @CAT.

Dear Bob,
Let me join Lauchie and all others who greatly appreciated, saying it loudly or not, what your so big, intelligent, and kind work did to our community. Instead of "we will miss you" I want to say "see you" because I hope we will communicate with you and see you, at least on CT conferences, as before.
Thank you so much, and
Very best regards to you,
George

Dear Bob,
Your service over these many years has been greatly appreciated. It has
promoted many valuable connections for me and was of the utmost help to me
when holding many CT and FMCS conferences in Vancouver. I am glad to see
that this valuable forum for category theory has been transferred so
smoothly and will hopefully continue for many years to come.

Just writing to add one more voice of gratitude to the chorus — thanks, Bob, for all the diligent and tactful moderation work, keeping the mailing list running fruitfully for longer now than many (?most) of us have been in the field. It’s been a model of moderation, keeping things civil and on-topic without discouraging people from wide-ranging and often lively discussion — a difficult balancing act that’s often unnoticed as long as it’s maintained!
With much appreciation,
–Peter.

I would like to join my voice to the chorus: your contribution to the life of the community of category theorists cannot be priced. There was a lot of wisdom in your actions as a moderator. I am glad you have resisted me occasionally.
