(with your money)

I decided to write this after succumbing to the gnawing pang once more, of finding an auto-generated links page where one of my favorite few websites once lived, and feeling empty, as the depressing truth sets in… the site, and its mother organization, are no longer. Plunged forever into the abysmal netherworld with only a tacky redirect page as its headstone, leaving the faceless few who remember its happier times mourning in front of their silent, cold, LCDs. (or CRTs). And that is why I write today. To plead for you to support the sites and organizations you hold dear, for without us and our ever-guarded pocketbooks to support them even through this bleak economy, may all be quietly in danger of disappearing like the dodo.
