Apparently due to the lack of Tatari Faran posts. :-P

Yes, and I regret not sending the Jabberwocky post earlier. It
could've saved the day... :-P

Does a LONG post on Jabberwocky in Tatari Faran qualify? :-P
OK jokes aside... don't leave. We need to keep as many level-headed
people as we can to prevent the list from degenerating to the fate of
