I agree Cinn, and I agree Helen, and I did used to feel the same. But not to the point that I care if they go now or not.
From my own point of view, I spent enough time on the present day threads that I don't see how I'd ever really have enough time to look at the old ones that often. Bar the occasional one posted for laughs.
I agree that they were hilarious though, and I will always treasure those memories, but life is short, I would rather being laying down new ones and laughing on those, than keep going over older threads.
Feelings/things have changed for some wenches, and for those of us, we're happy to see the back of them.
As I said up there though^ if they did stay, I would request to remove myself anyway. As would possibly one or two (or more?) other wenches, so I guess in that sense, some of them wouldn't quite read the same with holes all over the place anyway?
