Learn to let it go ...

It's hard to let go, but I'm working on it, so as a last throw of the dice, spin of the wheel, let's give these one last airing and if they get no response I'll move on:

Close, but not quite 10^6
This would have been quite ironic if you did hit it

So I'm sitting here not getting anything done, waiting, planning, getting ready, and this voice in my head says ...
Let it go.
Sometimes things aren't worth the effort. Sometimes the reward doesn't match the work invested. Sometimes you simply have to let it go.
It's a bit like the "Greybeard Stories" stuff I've been doing. They've disappeared without a trace here, in the very forum where I thought they would get their most appreciative audience. I guess no one really cares, so I've got to learn to let it go.
Maybe I'll come back and write more later, and maybe I'll follow the suggestion made by DanielBMarkham and gather them into a book. Or maybe someone else will do it.
Right now, I've got other stuff to do, stuff that's probably got a better reward-for-effort ration. So I'll go do that. I won't try to get the millionth entry, I won't polish my next Greybeard story. I'll go back to writing code for my project/startup.
I'll take another step towards learning to let it go.
When it's the right thing to do.
