Completely fair! And I totally respect your not engaging with them in an opinionated way on the community while noms were ongoing and while you were being a mod! Feel free to engage later as private-self-you in whatever way you want, even by saying "Mod Hat Off" in the subject! (Which is, of course, a commonly known convention that you are speaking as a private individual and not as the fkficfest mod!)

I also hope your service appointment went well! I always worry a little that something is going to be pricey when I have one of those.
