  Can it really be true that the last post to this list occurred on May 25? Is it possible that you folks, formerly the chattiest group of internet junkies I've run across in twenty years, have finally run out of anything to say?     I understand, of course, that life intervenes. I suppose death can also intervene, and the morbidly minded post-goths among you might want to look at it that way. Honestly, I'm pretty sure a well placed baseball card could intervene without half trying. Given all that, though, how on earth have you folks gone nearly a month without saying *anything*? You haven't even said anything *inane*, for chrissakes. Not so much as one mention of pirate penguin on a trampoline. Or a kitten. Nothing. It's *weird*.    I don't know whether to call a drunken wake to mourn the passing of the list or whether to start dialing the emergency services in your area. I'm worried that you're all trapped under recalcitrant vending machines. I'm halfway hoping that you all went on a three week long bender, and you're now trying to figure out a way to describe the haphazard tattoos you've just discovered on yourselves.    Or has the apathy just... finally... taken... hold?      
The list came back and I didn't notice until I saw that a message folder had 1200 unread messages. I ploughed through all of them and posted a couple of replies, maybe that was what killed it off again.
