Escade, from the time I fought at your side during the coup, to playing in your regional games, I have had nothing but fun. You're a great TSPer, and an even greater person. I am sad to see you leave. And it is this sadness that inspires me to apologize.

Apologize for the times I have insulted or questioned you. When I have doubted you. For the times I lumped you into the same pool I do most of the politicians. I now know you too are aware of the problems in the roots of this region. You know that it is on a path to corruption, and you've acted in your way, standing against it. For this my respect for you has increased only so very much more.

I wish the best of luck to you Escade, and may the odds forever be in your favor. (I've always wanted to say that)
