Hey, Dealie, I just posted the following on g&k, but feel it applies here, too. Has it struck anyone how quiet it's gotten around here? This is only the 19th post of the day, and we've averaged 53 a day since we started the thread. This isn't only the case on g&k; the volume of conversation throughout the threads I visit has suffered the same decline. I'd be interested in your opinions as to why this has happened. Here are a few of my ideas: A large number of active posters came down with carpal tunnel and can now only lurk. Neglected wives formed an Anti-SI League, and changed the log-in passwords on their husbands' computers. Bulls are afraid to post lest they be attacked by roving bands of vandals and bears. There is nothing left to say. Btw, I'm not complaining. It's much easier keeping up these days :o}. uf
