...And All That Was Left Was Silence
I am closing the doors here.
At the very least, it is no longer appropriate to keep using this username. This isn't a sudden development; I've been considering ditching it for most of the year. It represents something that I no longer am. It may even be that it represents something I never was anyway, and if the last 21 years have been living a lie then that is utterly unacceptable. Maybe not all of the last 21 years was fraudulent, but a fair chunk of it has been. This must not be allowed to continue.
I will not be deleting this blog outright, as there are too many references I will need to come back to. It may be that I buy a rebranding token for it and restart with an extensive rehash, but it is more likely I will start again from scratch - or I may go away completely. What is for certain is that there will be no new start until I have relocated and established some order in the Flatlands, and it has to be worth my while doing so.
To the last handful of you who were still watching to the bitter end, I bid you hail and farewell.
