We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

If the composer would raise his head
into silhouettes of trees, see backdrops faint
and grey of the evening sky, he
could write of stirs of languid leaves,
of breezes like breath on a lover's neck,
of miracles come to pardon the day goodbye.
He might take pen in hand, doubtless
observer, too much to keep in mind at once,
and might rush lest some small hue become
forever gone, like night escaping to hide
in the dark and quiet. He might capture
a rush in his hand, feel a struggle against
some finite place on a page; but when all
is done and his eyes are clear again,
he has evensong complete in a single note.
