Well, this is attributable to a simple but fairly rare affliction known, in
layperson's terms, as having "absolutely nothing to talk about". I hope this
won't be a recurring or chronic ailment, and it should pass in a day or so.
Simply take up the nearest topic, add a little rock-headed opinion or two, and
the list should be chatting up a storm. ;}

PS Is anyone interesting in having members post information about jobs in
their area (ones they aren't posting to themselves, I suppose)??? There's
an advert in the local paper that I don't qualify for that someone out there
might be interested in...
