Parker, we've had some recent problems and I think it makes some people a bit gun-shy. As someone who has interacted with you (as has my husband) I'm feeling okay about the conversations. However, we do a lot more here than just make conversation. You've given your profile, we can see the sort of issues you're dealing with too. Duck on over to General and see what you can find there too. After all, if this was a workplace, the boss would haul our rear ends out to the street if all we ever did was hang around the Watercooler!
