Sad, but true.  Lately I too have been getting a little tired of this GRGR.
Dialogue is nearly non-existent, and it would seem that even amongst those
who post "regularly" only a small minority are actually reading along and
posting comments about GR.  And it seems a number of earlier participants
have simply quit the game.  Periodically we've been graced with some very
good semi-lurkers like jbor and seb Thirlway.  It's a shame they don't stick
around.  But then we've also had to endure those psuedo semi-lurkers.  Oh
well...

I have been quiet myself for the past week or so, mostly because Mardi Gras
is in full swing down here and It takes time to assemble decent costumes for
all those parties (and one shouldn't be caught dead wearing the same thing
out twice).  But I also plan to continue with this GRGR if only to push
myself into a "studied" read of GR.  I'm glad you plan to stick around, kai.

I nominate "fructify" for word of the week!
