I really wanted to express warm grattude to the new web acquaintances I've made on here during this trying time. Practically overnight I got a buncha new followers as a new user, or at least it seems like a buncha to me; then, rather suddenly, it seems like everybody at once stopped reading my stuff. Given the current situation, I sincerely hope that this doesn't mean you have... no, it's too terrible to think of, much less say. Nevertheless, my gratitude for your recognition, however momentary, is heartfelt and continues, and I want you to know that I will continue to value our association for as long as this period of social disconnectedness lasts, after which I will re-evaluate rationally based on a cost-benefit model.
