I think you're possibly right, Soup, In fact, I commented on the same thing a few days ago in a post of my own. I keep an eye on the relative numbers of "game" threads and "personal" threads, and I saw the percentage of "game" threads increasing, and "personal" threads decreasing. As if people were keeping more to themselves for a while, whatever that might mean. Me, I don't think it's the phases of the moon or anything like that. I don't know what it is. But there sure seem to be "group feelings" of some kind that change from time to time. In other words, don't worry about it, it's not just you! Take care.
