13. I think there is some burnout involved.

I took a very long break from this board. I came back to find it very different.

Sometimes, with everything going on in this world... with all the destruction, I have to take a mental and physical break from it all. No politics, no political TV content, etc.

It may be the same with others. I come back for posters like yourself, MelissaB, Waterman and others. But I will be honest -- the tribalism is discouraging. I prefer the more thoughtful, analytical content.
