The participation seems way down recently. What did I miss?

For me, there's just been less posted that I feel I have something to say on. If I see something about programming, networking or tech that I have (probably) some useful info to contribute I will do so. Likewise if there's a general subject I have anecdotal points to make, or I'm just genuinely interested I will comment too.

But otherwise, I just read and move on. There's been a lot more read and move on lately. Maybe because of the upcoming US election for which by and large beyond the fact I don't want the orange shitgibbon (As a fan of the west wing, I like that the spelling checker suggested shibboleth to correct this "typo") to win, I don't have much interest. Mostly because I'm not from the US.
