Hey Folks, with the exception of email, the Internet seems to be drying up. And no, I don't count porno and web surfing in my totals. Right here in SI there are a couple of thousand boards that are not being replenished with new ideas daily. But it's not just here in SI.
The other halls that I often visit at this time of the morning are all ghost towns, too! Zero posts. Zippo. No Posts. In effect, this is the first sustained period of empty cyberspace since the joint opened up for business. Are people shriveling up into their private parts? The combined effects of both the alleged economic downturn and the September 11th attacks, combined, I suppose, could be viewed as the reason for this. But then again, I think that it goes beyond that.
Actually, the latter two factors would normally be viewed as stimuli, if anything, and not inhibitors.
I just took a glance over into the "new subjects" pull down section here in SI. It states that there have been seven (7) new subjects created in SI in the past three days.
However, if you view the dates of origin of those threads you find that they extend four or five days back into the past, and not three. Hmmm..
What's happening here and elsewhere? We insomniacs would like to know.
