The intrepid and irreplaceable Claire Wolfe writes, "And that ... is that. Hardyville disappears back into its Brigadoon-like mists. The Claire Files Forums are in the happy process of becoming The Mental Militia Forums (completing the circle, since TMM is where they began -- thank you Elias Alias, Debra, ladylearning, and the late, lamented Walter "Bark" Doss). Now it's also time to put Wolfesblog into suspended animation."

Claire is moving farther down the road on her personal path to freedom and, as I wave, I also shout out "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU" for 11 years of insight and honesty and sheer guts. I wish you nothing but the best, my friend. I look forward to reading whatever else you write, wherever else you choose to publish. And, remember, you can always come "home" to a heartfelt welcome. You are the very essence of freedom and libertarianism, Lady.
