This question has been in the back of my mind too, MG...thanks for posting it. Lots of good responses here, and I think they are mostly right on. I am guilty of scanning titles like "What's on in the Middletwitch?" and "To busk or not to busk" and rapidly losing interest. It's sort of a vicious cycle. I can't help but miss the interesting posts of the past from people like Justa, Catspaw, and, God knows, Rick.
