Chopped liver.

[Seabiscuit]

That's what I've finally concluded I am in the Lounge.

I can't recall the last time anyone responded to any of my posts in the Lounge. Strangely, I've been getting all kinds of replies to posts I have recently been putting up in LBN, GD, and GD Politics, and I have no idea who those people are.

I don't blame anyone but myself. I just am what I am, including being someone who just doesn't get half of the things people say here - it's either some young generation language I'm not familiar with, some internet jargon I'm not familiar with, or some secret-code-like chatter among a significantly sized group of intimates here, or a combination of some or all of the above - but I'm just too old and out of it to even want to try to decipher it any more or ask for help from anyone.

I don't have this problem in the other DU sites, so I've been posting less and reading more - mainly LBN to keep up with world events.

I'm not saying good-bye exactly - I'm sure I'll make future attempts to see what's going on here even if I don't "get it", and may even post here and there. But I'll be here a lot less often. I know I've pissed some people off here while posting in a bad mood, so I'm sure some of you will breathe a sigh of relief, but I suspect the vast majority won't even notice.

It has been fun at times.

Enjoy.
