What are you talking about? A few posters who mostly spend their time insulting people without evidencing the ability to frame a cogent argument are missing and you're ready to yawn or weep?
I've spoken to a problem of replacing some of the good people who've fallen away, not due to some shift in philosophical edge, but natural attrition and the need to replace them. I think TOL has been following an incremental diminution for a while now. What, you're just noticing it?
Not much. Talking to an agent about the first novel, working on two more and I'm about to take half time student status going for another undergrad degree, this one in education.
What are you doing these days?
