I've got interest but not activity so... Emeritize me!

(I enjoy lurking but haven't committed in 2 years. Haven't even checked to
see if I have a svn account yet :-))

(from http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html)
 Emeritus
  A term used to formally designate someone as no longer active, but
 still entitled to all of the
 rights and privileges of the position. For example, an ASF member who
 hasn't attended any membership
 meetings for a long time is declared emeritus; someone who no longer has
 time to work on a
 particular project may declare itself emeritus. Emeritus status indicates
 interest but not activity,
 as opposed to having resigned.

Thank you, Joe!  I hadn't seen that document before, and it's good to have a 
list of all the counter-arguments (rather than a barrage of -1s).

I note for the record, however, that I received two copies of this email, 
which means that Joe must have hit Group Reply, so that means that *even 
with* Reply-to munging on, the principle of minimal bandwidth is violated :-)

(I note also that since my From address is not my preferred address, anyone 
replying to me personally from a list post will be using my internal 
address, which may change at any moment -- Mr. Hill's reply-to-useful doc 
doesn't address this. And I'm not demanding a response here, either -- as 
far as I'm concerned, this question is asked and answered, and I'm happy to 
get back to work.)
