Clearing up & packing my bags.
So much for collegiate spirit & all that.
I have put hours of my time into this project, because I believed in it, and because it was fun. I have enough stress in my life as it is, and I don't want a place where I come to get away from it all turning into a source of more.
Open letter to isis
Since she keeps wiping her talk page:
Isis, could we clear something up? Is it this statement which is causing the problem?
- Isis' interpretation is mistaken. Photographs are covered by copyright. -- Tarquin 10:09 Jan 26, 2003 (UTC)

You refuse to discuss the matter with me once again. You make more threats of legal action, and I still don't understand if this is about clearing your reputation with wikipedians or about getting a court to rule on copyright law on the back of a spurious case. Despite what you say on User talk:Eloquence, I have never set jackals or hyenas on you. You are still mistaken in your interpretation of copyright law, that is my opinion and I stand by it. I do not think that pointing out a single mistake lowers others' opinions of you, but you are obviously the sensitive type. No worries, so am I, which is why I am leaving.
