You can fight, but what good is it? Goodbye.

[Jeff Wilson]

Having let this go longer than anticipated due to personal matters, I can advise you all of my decision. To get straight to the point: the board is closed. The events of recent weeks and months clearly show that without strong moderation, the bad feelings and behavior will continue. In a larger forum, the dilution of personalities make it less problematic when personality clashes occur, but the tiny community here only magnifies such occurrences. I am sorry it has come to this, but it seems the only logical solution. To those of you that donated to keep Wellesnet running, the site is not going anywhere and never was. The board will remain as a readable archive, as there is a wealth of information that will hopefully be of use to current and future readers. So the site will remain an ongoing concern, just one without a discussion forum, unless Larry chooses to enable commenting on blog posts.

As this also constitutes my sign-off from the site, let me thank all of you over the years who helped out and contributed, too many to mention. It's been fun, it's been a grind, it's been many things. I wish you all good fortune and good health, and if you find another place to discuss Welles, may you have good luck with it. Maybe we'll meet again at some point.
