Aw, Dave, don't be so hard on yourself.  I've been pretty absent from this section as well. None of this is gonna be on the final exam, anyway.  Joseph Tracy signed up for the next chapter (Joseph, are you there?), after which, Chapters 6 and 7 (a long one) are unhosted - so we'll all have to pitch in and come up with pithy (or outrageous, or stupid or obscure) posts to provoke conversation.

Here's the sign-up sheet as it stands:

8/23- 9/5 - Chap. 6 –
