I intended to make some sort of announcement about this back in
December when it all happened, but never really got around to it for
whatever reason.  Sean Fahey mentioned it briefly in the Open Apple
Rountable podcast, but as I don't know how many csa2 readers listen to
OA, here goes.

I was recently approached by Sean about taking a larger role in
contributing to A2Central.  He felt for personal reasons that he
wanted to take step back and hoped I would take over as lead editor
for A2Central.  I happily agreed.

So, I'm happy to belatedly announce that I've taken over that role
from Sean, who will remain involved as a contributor, and in whatever
other capacity he feels comfortable.  Sean has done an amazing job
over the years since he took over from Sheppy and I hope I can live up
to the high standards he set in making A2Central truly "Your Total
Source for Apple II Computing".

To be clear, I don't own A2Central and I'm not the only one providing
behind-the-scenes administration and support.  It's been a challenge
so far keeping up in our friendly rivalry with Call-A.P.P.L.E. and if
I can do half as well as my predecessors, I'll be happy with A2Central
at the end of the day.

Thanks.

- Mike
