Jack Ganssle just published issue 500 of The Embedded Muse, and said that this will be the final issue, as he is retiring "completely", after being "mostly" retired for some time.

I am sure that his e-mail will overflow with reactions, so instead of adding my own message to that flood I post it here.Thank you, Jack, for the informative, pleasant, rational, amusing, and long series of The Embedded Muse. It will be missed by many, I am sure. And best wishes for your complete retirement, may it be happy and long continue.
