I regret Aurora's decision to delete her profile but I respect it, as I have always respected her, both personally and professionally.

Dear Au:
Too bad, but good luck. As I told you by email, I hope you will take concrete action in pursuit of your objectives. I believe that you are one of the people who could make a difference in our industry, just as you have made a difference for many on a personal level. Please know that if ProZ.com can support your concrete efforts in any way, the door here will be open.
In any case, on behalf of the community, thanks for everything you have done as a ProZian to da... See more Dear Au:

On a bit of a side note, I would like to recognize publicly that the moderators here have gone to great lengths over the years to form sensible rules and to apply them consistently. It is not always easy. In this case, the group vacillated in its interpretation of a rule, and this was perhaps unfortunate. But I can say confidently, based on years of experience in working with them, that those who initially found Aurora's post to be in violation would have had no bias, no ill intent. No assumptions should be made as to their views on the issues discussed. ▲ Collapse

| Proz will not be the same without you, Aurora | Aug 31, 2007 |
I remember meeting you and Pepelu back in 2002 when I joined Proz, you were the first Prozians I met and your contributions to this site have been very valuable for me. I cherish you as a person and I am certain we will keep in touch.
Take care,
Marcela

With your departure, Belle Aurore, I can barely see my hand in front of my face. ▲ Collapse

I'm sure you'll be missed by everyone. I haven't met you personally, but I've read many of your posts, learned a lot from them and from your articles and comments, and know that you've worked hard and contributed a lot to the site.
We'll sure miss you Au. Good luck!

ProZ es para mí un lugar de encuentro, es el lugar donde conocí a tanta gente linda con la que hoy estoy de alguna forma siempre presente. La vida es cíclica, los ciclos se cierran para abrir otros que serán aún mejores. Sólo te digo hasta luego... porque como muchos dicen aquí... sabemos dónde encontrarte.

| A hard-to-say farewell... | Aug 31, 2007 |
... to the Lady who organized such a wonderful conference just a year ago, making possible the coming-together of so many persons, and the beginning of so many professional realizations, especially for young translators.
Hope this farewell has its "welcome back", anywhere in life!

Hear, hear... I can't say this has been unexpected, but it IS a pity anyway.
All the best to you, Au.

Hi Aurora
I am not writing on this site much at all lately, but we have had one or two little conversations, of course, about rates (so much to say about the subject...)
Whatever the subject, it was always a pleasure to read the many of your postings I bumped into (even if read in silence and with little time to contribute), you normally cheered up my day and your opinion, refreshingly, was never necessarily predictable (as you are not afraid -and are genuine enough- to...

Whatever the subject, it was always a pleasure to read the many of your postings I bumped into (even if read in silence and with little time to contribute), you normally cheered up my day and your opinion, refreshingly, was never necessarily predictable (as you are not afraid -and are genuine enough- to speak your mind).
It is a shame you have left and ProZ losses a lot without you, I actually tended to identify the good things of this website with you.
Well, what can I say...
...lots of luck and same spirit wherever you dock next!!!
Kindest regards,
Marta ▲ Collapse

Sé que donde vayas marcarás la diferencia e influirás de manera positiva en la vida de todos los que se crucen contigo, así como lo hiciste aquí en Proz. Cinco páginas de mensajes de apoyo y respeto respaldan mi opinión.
Te deseo mucha suerte en todo lo que te propongas.
