   Hi Daniel,

   It's funny you should mention that, because I honestly came to   
   the newsgroup today intending to post some form of "goodbye" that   
   highlighted that (I don't remember exactly how I put it) "I'm the   
   one that kills newsgroups" I whined elsewhere. It got so quiet here   
   compared to how it appeared before I arrived that sneaking suspicions   
   others were "holding their fingers", as it were, were blossoming   
   into a whole lot of "self" pity.... So I can't tell you how much   
   I appreciated seeing your three new replies to me. Thank you.   
      
   But, then, I'm also fresh off a disappointing stint in "Gemini"   
   (protocol) realms. People therein like to harp on loving "smolnet",   
   and finding some kind of satisfaction in a combination of not   
   interacting with each other, and also writing at a frequency that   
   feels closer to "never" than to "incessantly" to me... so I'm   
   somewhat smarting from that experience. To me there's no point   
   in blah blah'ing my life experiences onto others' screens if it   
   doesn't lead to interaction.   
      
   Anyway, thanks again for replying!
