Some folks who have run their own blogs were not surprised:  To run a high quality blog takes a phenomenal amount of ongoing work and sooner or later real life interferes with virtual life.  

The timing may be co-incidental, but it is not surprising:  We are entering a time when personal stress is starting to increase, and for more and more people real life requires pressing attention.  

Perhaps what we have learned in recent discussions of global contexts will help us navigate our local lives.  

The Fates are kind.

I am sorry to see Bernhard shut down MoA. My first time ever comment on the Internet was at the then Wiskey Bar and I have been a commenter on MoA at the beginning and later on a regular lurker.

I can very well understand Bernhard's decision, as I am tempted to throw the towel at times too, and I do not have to take care of a whole site.

But his insights will be missed - but who knows, maybe after a while..... oh, well!

please pace yourself, Fran, it'd be a huge loss, were you to drop out, tho' i'd understand, seeing how much of the site is your contributions.

i you do give up, could you do a diary about it first?
