<p>FWIW, I can sense that you might be on the edge of your own
"symmetry break"... that you are struggling hard to break some
patterns which have (apparently) worked well enough for you for
some time, but which seem not to (current psych doc, current GP,
daily activities, exercise habits, etc.) any longer. <br>
</p>
<p>This might naturally have you thinking/acting on much shorter
time scales (being impatient for change) than normal ... I also
offer you the general advice to not make more than one fundamental
life change at a time. Certainly acquiring a new gym partner,
finding new outlets/venues for your newly found love of dance are
not overly extreme, but probably will take some time to effect and
settle in.</p>

<div dir="ltr">lol well said Gary, on my end anyway I get SOME
traffic, I don't know when exactly it started to really dry out
on my end anyway. Possibly 3-4 weeks ago was when I really
noticed.
<div>I know on my my end to get any ones opinions or advice on
or even just to say a friendly hello, it seems like I need to
do so many times--That comes off as rude. I want to be wrong
in that case and I want it to be a technical problem. It'd
really suck if it's because people are leaving what used to
be a pretty vibrant list.</div>
<div>As a concrete example I've seen nick thompson need to ask a
few times just for advice on firefox.</div>
<div>Yesterday and today because I really want to pick up the
pace on making friends, and finding stuff I'd enjoy doing and
even getting a new set of resume and job helpers. </div>
<div>I don't expect instant response lol but even a simple: Oh
I'm sorry Gil I (or we)simply don't know! or friendly ribbing
goes a long away to kind of assure people oh, it's not
actually dead quite yet-</div>
<div>lol but you might be right that it's turning into that
infamous Norwegian blue lol</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Preffering as I said in another email to be a open book or
just open about questions, curiosities or what ever just ask.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That leads to the awkward question then: If people are
leaving and or it's a technical problem, Anyone know how
do-able it is to give either the current list a fresh coat of
paint or somehow smoothly transition into a general fun witty
bantery type of list. As I have no clue how email lists get
set up and going "just" may simply a petty heafty task ^_^</div>

<div>I've gotten a lot of FRIAM postings from Nick, Frank,
Marcus, and Glen lately about philosophy regarding
belief and doubt, so it doesn't appear to be dead.
However, it doesn't seem to be getting officially
archived any more, which is a shame. I believe Glen said
that he keeps all emails, so he probably could be tapped
to supply the missing posts should anyone decide to
resurrect the archive by combining the old archive (from
<a href="http://web.archive.org" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">web.archive.org</a>) with
Glen's posts. So far, nobody has stepped up.</div>

anyone posts or reads it anymore, Edd and possibly
