I think valerie may be overreacting to that parody item on mnet.  that item
parodied her baby diary.  now maybe she thinks that every thing she ever
posted is ripe for parody so she has to remove them all.  If so, it seems like
a huge overreaction.  

Valerie is one of Grex's founders, and I'm sure Grex would be a different,
lesser, place today had it not had her participation as board and staff
member in its early years. I mean who's been a bigger fan and supporter of
Grex over the years than she has?

Which makes her leaving so publicly, so completely all the more sad and
mystifying.  When you leave that publicly, its like slapping this place in
the face. Like maybe she's hoping other people will follow her example and
abandon the Grex.  She could have left quietly, not even told anyone, but
she didn't.  She left publicly.  She wanted people to know she was
leaving. That implies she's angry and has an agenda. Does she not like
what Grex has become?  Does she wish it was still just a local dialup bbs
for the Ann Arbor community?  

Or is Valerie now saying that she thinks Grex has failed in its purpose,
that Grex can no longer be what she wanted it to be?
