[AT] It’s been a good run…..

Fri Jun 19 05:10:27 PDT 2026

 I've mainly been a lurker here for more years than I care to calculate. I've contributed little and learned a lot. I appreciate all that you've done Spencer, as well as the rest of the regular contributors. It's sad to see it go even though there hasn't been a lot of traffic for a few years. I've joined the Facebook group and hope to see some of you there.

 Thanks everyone.  I only know how to explain how I feel with an analogy. 
My mother-in-law has severe dementia. I had to say goodbye to her a while back, even though she’s still alive. Whoever is in the shell of her body it’s not my mother-in-law. And when she dies, I won’t grieve for that stranger. I’ve already grieved two years ago.
That’s a bit morbid and I’m sorry to be macabre, but these lists did die years ago. So what’s happening on July 1 does not pain me in the least. I think it finally sets something free. I will continue to be in Portland and I hope to hear from you in the future. I even have a small sparkle of hope that this Facebook group actually gets used. But I have no expectations and certainly no pressure.
What we built will always hold a special place in my heart and I leave you my mother’s blessing:  “regardless of the thorns you endure, may you always have roses”.

Thanks for all your efforts running this over the decades (wow!) Spencer.

I got sick of all the "you wouldn't believe [insert other political view] is doing" on Facebook and stopped using it, so I won't be migrating with everyone else.  I will miss the good times and conversations we have had, and wish everyone the best of whatever life has in store.  Good luck everyone.
