Regarding how October 1st was chosen, Suzanne says in her blog:

”... I need to set a deadline. A shutdown clock will initiate shortly. It’s very real and all-encompassing. Everything will be gone from www.lugnet.com but for a pointer in about twelve weeks (possibly Oct 1, 2005). That’s not to say the data won’t live on elsewhere; I’m sure it will. It’s just that Todd and I can’t be responsible for it any more ...”

Hi Robert: With due respect, did you happen to read what Suz herself wrote here? Here’s the central point, IMO:

No piece of a blog entry should be pulled out, given a title and posted at LUGNET with an implication that an announcement has gone unnoticed by LUGNET users.

What will be, will be, of course. But I suspect that it will be more helpful to allow Suz to circulate her announcements here on LUGNET at her own pace.

Dave!
