All good things come to an end...
Cynique, you've had an amazing run over the last 12 years; joining the forum in January of 2004. I found your 2nd post, in a interesting conversation, back when we discussed books in a more substantive manner; with other regulars like of Thumper, Yukio, Soul Sisters, Book Girl, AKA Ivy Leaf and many others.
Of course the sheer number of your posts (16,997), and the quality of your contributions, are both prodigious and unlikely to be equaled. I consider it my job to preserve what you have shared for as long as there is a world Wide Web. It would bring me no more joy than to discover that one of your ancestors were brought closer to you by simply reading your commentary, musings and insights on historical events, pop culture, sports, black culture and more.
I know I've enjoyed your editorial immensely. i will continue to work to share it with a broader audience.
...so while this chapter may be over it will live on in my heart and many others who have yet to discover you.
Peace and Love,
Troy
