If AM or equivalent did not exist, I would never have joined. There are quite a few others here who joined after posting as AM, and I suspect that many of them would likewise not be here were it not for the availability of AM. Furthermore if AM was removed, I would see that as an active statement that this site is not intended to be helpful to all comers. In that case, I don't see why I should remain...

Is that a good enough reason to keep AM in your eyes?
