:(  Seems to me that whenever any   one,  two,  or three people ,    take on the burden of keeping the conversation here going ,  it resembles that old saying  :   "Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days".
    I'm wrong often (just ask my wife),  but it SEEMS  that many of the folks that I eagerly "tuned in " to learn from two - three years ago have decided to go on sabbatical. 
    It is not their job to entertain , or teach anyone jackpoop.     However, when one or two folks try to maintain the interest of folks who long ago decided to" head to the woods" to find solace and to "be their own man" , it can start to get "old" after a couple or three seasons.
   " Dead air " is ,no doubt, not any thing any of us want to happen here ,but a blabbermouth cabin mate , has more than once generated murderous and disdainful sentiments
     I wish I had something good to add to the conversation , but I haven't been on a trip for a couple of years now since my physical prowess has eroded after  I got hurt  ,and I don't feel I can add much.
      How about You All? WE gona let this thing just fade away?
      Please excuse me if I'm out  of line...
