I kind of go back and forth between not being able to look at it and not being able to walk away.

Yeah! That's exactly how I feel. You are so good at that.

I want us all to leave together and end up in the same place and . . . that seems very improbable.

I dunno. I was just reading a comment someone made somewhere about fandom being all on usenet, and there was a mass exodus then, and it seemed like the end of the world, or at least the end of fandom, then.

I think that things are gonna be shaky for a while, but I feel actually pretty positive about fandom finding a place.
