This is strangely moving.

I almost feel like you're about to die, Eliezer.

Don't leave us hanging, what's going on? Are you cutting back on writing new pieces for LW? Does this mean work on the book(s)? Is that still happening? Are you cutting back to focus more on your, er, other project? Or am I misreading this post and nothing's changing?

In particular, it sounds like the wise-old-mentor-tells-protege-he-won't-always-be-around speech from (nearly) every fantasy novel/movie ever. "Master Eliezer, you can't die!" "Strong am I with the Way; but not that strong. Fortunately cryonics will let me come back as a glowing blue ghost."

It does!

I wonder if TVTropes has given this scene a name...

No doubt it does, but I daren't go and find out - I have other things to do...

Edit: oops... Old Master passing the torch

Cutting back, yes. Not cutting back to zero. Not now, not yet.

I sense a bout of Deism coming on from our creator/sustainer.

It may be that we'll hear more about that other project after the end of April.
