and there's still the issue of the current member posts that were overwritten by the former member data barf.

It's clearly beyond salvaging at this point. If Bill just wants to do away with any sort of journal option entirely, that's fine. If that's going to happen for sure, I'd like to harvest what I can but as Kurt has pointed out, that's going to be a bit of a chore. So maybe a month's or 3 months warning once the decision is made? Or if he wants to transition to a different system, if he can leave both up for a while that would let us move our stuff. But really, I guess cutting the cord is fine at this point. I have a few things that I like to have associated with my profile but I can copy them off today.
Agreed. There are some things I've written here that don't exist anywhere else, and it's sort of a record of where my head's been over the past 12 years. I also really treasured many of the comments, but as others have pointed out, those are often lost in the sea of "former member" data barf.

It's kind of a drudge to also get the comments.
