Yes.

1. Stop recommending following me to new hubskiers, based on my previous genius as a contributor. What have I done lately?

It's not that my hubski-love is over. My hubski-love is always throbbing.

But when I get a notice that newuser is following me, I shudder. OMG, I cry. What do I have to say today? Can I make steve giggle?

Whenever I drive or cycle, I write long letters to hubski in my imagination, but alas, the universe rushes in.

Then I'll come across a bit of hubski love: a picture, perhaps, of _refugee_ and blackbootz in Baltimore and, as Matthew Arnold said,

  Oh! then a longing like despair 

Is to their farthest caverns sent;

For surely once, they feel, we were

Parts of a single continent!

Now round us spreads the watery plain—

Oh might our marges meet again!

oh, what was the question?
