klaatu:
noticed regs' responses tapered off in length and scope;
thought maybe they don't care to repeat themselves,
having become familiar and comfortable with other regs
and wishing to spare them boredom.
still - most of life is a series of concurrent cycles;
if one's to avoid doing stuff just because it's been done before,
why eat?... you'll only get hungry again, anyway,
and almost anything you taste, you've tasted many times.
i use this place as a school. learnt lots here.
may be useful to hear some of the old stuff again though;
cycles recur, but nothing in nature repeats Exactly.
new insights change one's perspective daily.
looking back through archives,
wonder how threads started in 1997 would play out now -
with the same topics and same folks participating.
might go someplace entirely new,
or get a feel for views change over time.

klaatu:
maybe that's a(nother) big reason for the slow-down:
you and ejb hardly ever start threads; neither do i;
Gloria starts a few, but still mostly responds.
might be useful to bounce some random topics around.
