There is always some sadness when you bid farewell to one of the board originals, but it's gratifying that the knowledge you shared with us also impressed others enough that they wanted you for their own. As when Doug Allen left, it's hard to say whether you or Mastro got the better of the deal.
I think your statement "...My only fear is that they realize they are paying me for what I have been doing for the last 20 years on my own for free..." says it all. It's the proverbial offer you couldn't refuse.
A while back there was a tongue-in-cheek thread on this board concerning the hyperbole in the Mastro auction writeups. At least now we'll know who to blame! 
Best of luck!
