A herald stands in the middle of the town square and unrolls his
parchment...

"Hear ye! Hear ye!  Lady Sapphire, The Blue Tigress, has announced her
intention to unsubscribe to the list for a term of four months to conclude
her hunt for the famous 'College Degree'.  To that end, she has also taken
a leave of absence from her position as 'Co-Maintainer of the Fanfic ML
FAQ' placing the sole burden of this sacred position upon the broad
shoulders of Lord Panda."

The crowd moves restlessly and anxious questions fly through the air.

"Nay, do not lose heart, good folk, for she has announced her intentions
to return to these noble environs in June when she has captured her
quarry.  Until then, she bids thee farewell and fair writings."
