This will probably get lost somewhere in this thread - that's fine.
I've never met any of you and perhaps there aren't very many here that know anything about me - having been a semi-lurker for the past 6 years.
You have been like a family to me. I became a bigger person because of you. You've shaped my beliefs, helped me consider things perhaps I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.
I've watched many of you marry, have kids, divorce, go to college, run your first marathons.
If this is the end it will be sad - and I will miss you all.
