I hear ya. It's quiet out there......... too quiet! Sumpin's up. I'm just sitting here in this tree on picket duty and chewing on bark and shoe leather. The damn hobbits had magic stuff to get through the rough spots.

I think everybody is either out there reconnaissance'n (or copy and pastin').

"Hey Reb, you out there? Ya got us good today but we'll getcha tomorrow!"

LOL!
You may know, I travel a lot on business, last week in New Orleans for the first time, this week back to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, one of my favorite places.
Result is days & sometimes weeks between posting.

Anyway, at this point I've had no success trying to talk sense to DiogenesLamp, and don't see much potential in further efforts.
But perhaps there are others to address... :-)
