I could just be having an extended bout of paranoia, which I think is only natural for someone in my vocation to get from time to time. Either way I'm not bailing on anyone without meeting any prior commitments I have made and I will still be around to lend an ear to those who have questions or need advice in this profession, even if I do take down the wares for a while.That's fine by me, anybody would say you've already done more than enough, and definitely much more than most too. I was thinking out loud in the context of the strategic level previously, so don't worry I wasn't criticizing you personally :) Business decisions are separate from the macro level, you needn't feel beholden to the Silk Road at all. That baby is much bigger than you or me or even DPR at this point. I know you've been thinking about this for quite a while too, so that is proof positive to me. Now is as good a time as any to take a break.I always think that a period of reflection is good for you, personally and for business. Pine also escaped from here for a couple of weeks a while back. I made an extensive post on the subject to a fellow who was feeling stressed, so here's a link (Pine abhors waste, but is too indulgent to quite get the hang of haiku).http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=20347.msg208492#msg208492
