It's just not fun any more.
At first, it was fun noding, meeting people, reading their work, reading my msgs and hanging out in the catbox.
Then my life got busy, and I noded less often. But it was still fun knowing people, reading their work, reading my msgs and hanging out in the catbox.
Then my life got even busier, and I had less time to read nodes. But the people were fun, my msgs were a great way to keep up, and I could always drop in on the chatterbox.
Then my msgs became less fun, even after my most recent announcement. I'm not going to discuss that one, if it's all the same to you. But I would read daylogs and hang out in the chatterbox.
Now I don't even enjoy the chatterbox. Haven't for weeks. So why, exactly, am I here?
Maybe I'll come back when it's fun again. I'll drop by from time to time, to test the fun level. Call it a sabbatical.
