### Post:

Having a bit of a staffing change. I've been mod of /r/rational for about 5 months, and successfully repurposed it to the point that it's now an active subreddit. So my job is done, and I'm passing the torch down to /u/eaturbrainz. Besides, [I've been meaning to quit reddit for some time now](http://www.reddit.com/r/howtoquitreddit/comments/1srtz9/made_a_step_in_the_right_direction/) and, now I've cut myself from responsibility, what better time than now?

So yeah, that's what's happened. Carry on.
