Reno, I thought no-one would have noticed. It's true though I have cut way back on posting. A large part is due to the challenge as you pointed out. On a losing streak and it makes posting seem like a chore. Plus I have been trying to get out more and do other things. I have been playing more golf lately which I had all but shelved for a couple of months.
I'm not the only one who is cutting back though. Bread and Robyn have been posting less, Mr and Mrs X have all but quit all together, Teela and P-Roid barely make an apperance anymore either.
