Is there any way to close a StreamWriter without closing it's BaseStream?

Unfortunately not - the StreamWriter assumes it owns the stream.

Simply don't call Dispose on the StreamWriter. The reason this class is disposable is not because it holds unmanaged resource but to allow the disposal of the stream which itself could hold unmanaged resources. If the life of the underlying stream is handled elsewhere, no need to dispose the writer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
