Did Michael just pull the plug at PL?

...

"How and by whom?"

Considering that only Michael can ultimately judge what might be considered harm to his reputation, just as only you can ultimately judge what might be considered harm to yours and I as such to mine, it is folly for me to speculate on 'how and why' in Michael's case. My point was an extrapolation from my assumptive notion that Michael's decision-making process is geared toward making a better life for Michael. However seemingly frustrating his decisions have been to me at any given time, he remains steadfastly reputable to me as role model, starkly reminding me to gear my decisions toward a better life for me. I have found myself oddly deceived at times thinking that others have benefited from my decisions when I have not. In other words, in those situations I've inevitably come to doubt how much benefit was actually provided to others. All evidence extends from self-evidence.

"I also find it odd that the site went down shortly after a member posted a program allowing users to archive any member's posts and comments."

Personally, I find less oddity in effect when I am provided reasonable cause.

"Fortunately, I was able to capture mine before the plug was pulled."

You're an admirable leader of sorts in that regard, as I have not yet done so.
