Four score & 12 weeks ago, Kevin L. brought forth into this Internet a new website concieved in creativity & dedicated to the proposition that collaboration will spike creativity.
Now we are confronted by a crisis, testing whether the idea of this website, or any website so concieved & so dedicated, can continue to endure. We meet in this part of cyberspace in the midst of this crisis. We’ve come to pay our respects to this site, to recognise those who here poured out their souls that this website or the idea of this website might live. It is altogether fitting & proper that we should do this.
But, in a greater sense, we can’t dedicate, we can’t consecrate, we can’t hallow, this site. The brilliant writers, newer and die-hards, who’ve struggled here, all have consecrated it, far above our weak power to add or detract. The virtual world probably won’t remember what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here. It’s for us, rather, to be dedicated in continuing the effort we’ve so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here, dedicated to the great task ahead of us, that from these great writers, we here greatly swear that these pieces of writing shall not have been typed in vain.
That this website, under the heavens, shall have a new beginning for us, and that a writing website of the writers, by the writers, for the writers, “...shall not perish from the earth.“
