I find it ridiculous and childish how some of the people here are saying "goodbye" and how they're "leaving" and "farewell", etc... If the can't pay (or simply don't want to) is no reason for "leaving" since all the information will still be available for FREE... (just not posting).
I also find their "excuses" very hard to believe. I'm pretty sure their internet access alone costs them a lot more than a $1 a month so, please don't come here with your "un-believeable" reasons for saying "good-bye" 
Anyway, I apologize in advance if I've offended anyone with my comments above... 
Bill & Kerry... keep up the good work! |
It's not necessary childish. It's strategic. Look at the underlying pyschology with the statements. One may make such a statement as a last defense to change the course of things, not in terms of agreement. Including myself, because if I seriously had to put some cash out for this, I would most certainly leave. And that puts out the message, "Oh, Gregor is leaving. Bummer." And that can cause a chain reaction with Avalon members thinking "Hey don't let this happen Bill & Kerry! We'll be left with only Christian fundamentalists, fear mongerers, and cynical disinfo agents!"
There's always more to a literal message at hand.
