While I don't want to do it [I've run enough groups through the
   years - it's exhausting!] - what about passing the torch on to
   someone trustworthy?

   It's your group of course and you've given enough fair time of
   warning.

   But consider: could any of the words written in this group be of
   value that is worth saving?

   The creation of this group brought together minds that otherwise
   might not have come together. They discuss many things; much of
   it absurd, but yet there may be some gems here.

   It is even searchable. I have searched the group a few times to
   see if something had come up in the past.

   Yet, once it is gone.. the words - where do they go?

   They're gone.

   I'm biased against deletion; and it's entirely subjective on my
   part: I've been on a quest to gather together everything I've
   ever written in my life. I've been putting it on
   [1]http://icopiedyou.com - just for myself really, but public in
   case, well, I croak suddenly and in the off chance (entirely
   egotistical and unlikely) that someone would want to search a
   bit of my now dead brain)

   It's out of context, since all great people get quoted out of
   context, so why not me? I'll just quote myself out of context.

   So it's bit of a joke yet not a joke.

   Anyhow, I've already saved some of the words I've written on
   here... just in case I need to refer to them in the future (due
   to faulty memory or I want to rediscover something I once said
   or regain the whisp of an idea that I once had) - but that's
   because it's my personal mission.

   For that, I'd ask to consider passing the torch on to someone
   trusted. You may have other reasons for it to go - I don't need
   to know them, nor do I need a further explanation; you've
   explained yourself in a perfectly logical way, as you do well.

   I was just providing something unique: my perspective. It
   doesn't have to become your perspective - you already have your
   own. But I wanted to present it just the same.
