Lili's gone

[fourthousandholes]

Lili has written a good-bye message in the "Off Topic" section in the "New Years Resolution" thread.
It reads as follows:

I'm with you on that, Rita.
I'm implementing my New Year's Resolution right now.
I'm quitting the forum. I just have a hard time knowing what I know, & reading all of the different theories being espoused by others. I have no way of proving what I know, which is why I never bring it up.
Noone else seems to have trouble bringing forth theories ( what they consider to be serious possibilities ) such as Paul lived past 1966 as a woman & some even believe that he joined the foreign legion.
I wish that is what happened. Paul was a nice guy & he got screwed. That's the long & short of it.
He was in a car accident & he died afterwards. I can't go into more detail, as I have no way of proving what I know.
If anyone would like to keep in touch with me, you can join Sea of Green & drop me a line. It's not an active forum, but I was asked to keep it up by a good friend. Whenever he tells someone new about PID, he shows that person the Sea of Green website to illustrate his POV.
I wish everyone here the very best. I'm going to miss coming here everyday & corresponding with y'all.

Take care & be well...

I want to thank Lili for all of her posts here, and her excellent work with providing pictoral
background for the discussions at this site.
Lili and I are casual (long-distance) friends, and I hope that at some point she'll see fit to return
here, even if she's had enough for now. I know how difficult it was for her to feel she knew, without a doubt, what had happened to Paul, only to have people like me, who she'd told her account,
post what she took to be alternate versions of Paul's fate than what she'd told us.
For the record, I'd like to say that I have no problem with her version of Paul's final demise.
If he ever joined the foreign legion (briefly), or was in a plane that was shot down, or lived as a woman
living on the run, those events weren't necessarily what did him in.
Still, they seem to be part of the story in some way, because they are suggested in the clues
that the Beatles and others have left. The reason I have brought them up is to see where these
pieces fit in the whole PID/PWR puzzle. To ignore them, and simply say, "He died in a car crash"
is to miss some of the evidence of what makes the story what it is.
I feel we need to work with all the clues we've been given to get the complete picture of what happened,
and the implications there-of.

But I will say this:
Everyone of us has something of a customized role in solving this riddle.
I could never do what Beatlies does.
Frankly I don't have the mindset and brainpower to do his brand of detective work.
I could never offer the musical insights and cultural references that Doc does.
Lili's devotion to the cause of resolving the issue of PID/PWR is done with a passion that rivals
Bill's in keeping "Paul" alive in the public mind.
(Oh, I'll bet she'd love that comparison! )
My point is that her role and contribution is, in many ways, unique;
one I think we'll appreciate more as time passes.

So Lili, this is what I would want to say to you:

"Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind."

In my yellow submarine.
Best wishes, my friend and sister.
