On the Script Meridian list, Brent expounds on his future:

Some of you have been around long enough to remember that before I worked for UserLand I was an independent developer who was active in the Frontier community. That's the role to which I'll return. So I'm not disappearing or anything like that. In fact, my plan is to participate more in the ScriptMeridian community and help turn it into a great resource for developers, users, and for UserLand. I totally dig the energy on this list lately, and I want to help organize it and keep it going. -Brent

Awesome! Thanks Brent!
