is.* Thank you for all of your witty responses and support
   through all the time you've been here.* We are friends and will
   always remain friends, whatever network you find me in.* [I'm
   easy to find]. I really hope you stay; maybe have a "On vacation
   from G+" sign on your front door here on G+... ...maybe you can
   start up another account with a new identity and put it aside
   for now as you pursue other things. I won't beg you to stay; I
   understand your choice; yet, I selfishly will miss seeing your
   name show up in comments now and again as I enjoy the things you
   have to say quite a lot. You seem to understand me at a
   different level than many people; you have a depth to you that
   is rare and, while it may sound creepy to others, I fully expect
   that I will see you again online in a different form.* A
   different name perhaps.** Perhaps your birth name.* Perhaps
   another name altogether.* I let people chose what they wish to
   be called.* Knowing your birth name is a nice bonus but I can
   just as easily allow myself to forget if requested. I hope you
   decide to stay, as I will miss you.* But if you go, please check
   in now and again, either here or another identity, and say...
   "Hey Ken, remember me?" Because.. no matter how long it is, I
   will.
