I popped in to see what's new and exciting and I see there's quite a discussion going on.

True enough. Or perhaps they don't announce their decision to minimize their participation. I've been a member here for several years and used to post a fair amount. I now only post occasionally and I keep my posts extremely short.
There are several reasons for this. Part of this is feeling less comfortable putting too much of myself out on the internet in general. Part of it is simply having less time to post. And part of it is the way the board has evolved, with complex blocking algorithms and increasingly structured rules and procedures. (I have nothing against the deputies and their dedication to the boards, and I know they are doing their best.)
I still like to post a little when I think I have some input that might be helpful. I just don't feel inclined to be as involved as I once was. I don't think my gradual fading out was necessarily noticed (which is okay). There are probably others out there like me.
