Wash that gray right outta my hair?

I've been thinking about my gray hair lately. Back when I was a stripling of twenty, before the the first white hair reared up, I thought I knew what I'd do. Dye it. Dye it until it reached the tipping point, then stop dying and do some form of frosted hair instead.
But now I'm unsure. I actually like my white hair, because it's coming in very silvery, and adds some interest to my hair. I also think that it's all my old copper highlights that are going first, so if I lose the silver, it will all be a dull brown.
However, I imagine that at some point soon I'll reach a tipping point. Like when you're growing out a short haircut. For a few weeks it seems an unmanageable mess, and you're sorely tempted to hack if off and forget about having long hair again. I imagine that's how I'll feel when I get to 30% gray, but once I start dying, there'd be no going back. I'll try to hold out a little longer and see how things go.
