Re: Sure is quiet down here.........

It has been really quiet. I forced myself [ and found it enjoyable research] to weigh in on the Gil-Galad thread and put a little Ainulindale thing up just because the silence was a bit unsettling.
A little of it may have to do with the unusual division of the sub/sections, as they were expanded a couple of times in rapid sucsession.

I mainly attribute it to human nature that it is easier to post endless follow ups on an endless array of topics than to hunker down and immerse oneself in tedium/ or even a non-tedious long project.
