You're living out of a cardboard box? Austerity hits Turq. :-D

You don't need to have a very big box in Netherlands - all you need is a
pipe and a small tin.
In a previous message I tried to remind Turq to take a few other things
over to his new rental house. Things like a broadband modem and a flat
screen TV set. Also, a table and a chair to sit on when he is posting to
FFL and writing science articles about levitation. A bed and a few
pillows would be something to consider too, even if it was a single bed.
But, when you using a bicycle for transportation it can be a real
challenge. In which case, the pipe and the tin would take priority. The
dog can probably just walk over.

I see this "lull" as a good thing. As you suggest, the fact that the
forum no longer contains the major source of the acrimony means that
there is less of it. What Ann may be "missing" is the fact that she
has fewer negative threads to "pile on to."
Why I see this as a good thing is that those who have "coasted" for
years on this forum saying nothing original and nothing interesting
themselves, just "piling on" to the acrimonious threads, now have to
think of something interesting to say, if they want to say anything
at all. I suspect many of them will be unable to.
I haven't been posting the last few days because I've been moving. My
new house is currently decorated in the style referred to as Early
Cardboard Box, so I would suspect that unpacking them will keep me
busy for a few days. :-)

I've seen lulls Ann, but this one seems different.
I was on vacation a couple weeks ago. Was it discussed - Judy's
absence? Do we know why she no longer posts.
Let's face it, for bettner or worse, she was a main driver of the
dialogue.
I would put much of went on, 80%, acrimony by content, and maybe 60%
by volume.
I don't know what can really drive the dialogue going forward.

Being a relative newcomer to FFL I have noticed it might be dying or
already dead and was wondering if there has ever been such a lull in
activity here before. What are we missing, if anything? We have
approx. 6 or 7 active posters. Does this a forum make? Is it time to
call it quits, reincarnate in a new body? Or...?
