For reasons sketched out
here, I have decided to shut down my LiveJournal. Now, LJ's policy on deleted accounts is that after 30 days your username is up for grabs. I am not entirely comfortable with that prospect, given that after 10+ years of history, quite a few people associate this username with me. As such, I have deleted all content but am not actually deleting my account per se. I have no plans to ever post, comment, read, check my inbox, or even log in to LiveJournal again.
Feel free to find me over on
my Dreamwidth journal, where my lurking, reading, and occasional commenting continues unabated.
