9-11          

The Bulletin Board was inactivated on July 18, 2002, the anniversary of Jane Austen's death. This followed four and a half years of lively conversations with the community. I list here the last month of that activity for the benefit of Internet archeologists and crime-scene investigators. For those of you who would like to explore the remaining parts of the web site, here are links to the Table of Contents, the Index and Archive (a navigational guide), and an introduction and explanation for you at the Home Page. The community still keeps in touch in the Male Voices Newsletter.

• 7/18/02 The Meister - Jane Austen passed away in the early morning hours on this date in 1817. Perhaps we should celebrate even that day, which, like her birth date, only bounds the time of an excellent woman who lived a exemplary life. Our Lady was a great artist who has enriched our culture as few others have. Yes, let us be happy. Everything must have an end as well as a beginning, and not just the good and worthy. And so I also can draw attention to the demise of something not so good nor so worthy: I will take down this Bulletin Board on August 1. The web site will remain open for another year, but the Bulletin Board will be abandoned in two weeks time. In the time that remains to us, let us proceed as we always have done. I thought to thank all the thoughtful contributors who have visited this Board but found that the list was too long and, more importantly, that I risked leaving someone's name off the list that belonged there. So, I will simply say, "thank you,"—to all of you, thank you so very much.
