I'm superstitious about changing groups. I know some people who keep switching groups and they're the angriest people I know. If I were to leave a group, it would have to be because I disagreed with something in the group conscious (again, can't spell that word) and had tried to change it but failed. . . i.e. the group's philosophy prevented me from being 'to mine own self be true'. This group saved my life and I have a responsibility to the group and the people in it. Leaving without saying why (or without having a good reason why) won't help anyone.
