Jack,

A good start to a thread. I've been lurking here for a long time, and like you, recall when there was a lot of activity from active posters. Members have wandered away over time, and I don't know what we have to do to bring in new members. The best advertising is word of mouth.

We're all busy. I'm still on a deadly long commute to a full time day job, but I hope to do something about that in the next couple of years. I have springtime farm work on the evenings and weekends. One of my horses died in February, and now when I have time I'm training a new horse. I will finally take a part of a day next week to start my stream season on a little creek a half hour north of the house.

I'm posting a scrap of flash fiction once a month, and reading all new posts. Other than that I have not been too active here.

Yes, it would be nice to have a group conversation again.
