Dear Internet,

We've known eachother for a while now. I've had this site plastered to you for about five years, I've met some brilliant people because of you, and all in all, I think we've had some good times. You've given me quite a few interesting websites to stay informed and entertained, and you have brought the whole planet a little closer to my fingertips over the years.

I just thought I should let you know that I've treasured your friendship Internet, and I'm sorry that I alone can't prevent your total takeover, and ultimate dismantling by special interests. I apologize that I can't prevent the gate-keepers from constantly expanding the definition of what belongs in thier gates. I don't know exactly how much time we will have together in this same incarnation, but I wanted you to know that it was fun while it lasted.
