By the time that I post this thread, it will be about two hours since I made my first post on this page during this sitting. In between then and now, I have tried very hard to stimulate some conversation around here! So far, I have not had any luck. What I have been doing is posting a message, leaving for a little while and them coming back. Overall, things have seem rather slow during the past two or so hours. However, when I came to this page yet again, I noticed that my thread titled "Emily Dickinson" got a new view! This is something that I am very happy about! It shows that there is at least a little bit of traffic going around. I wonder if I will eventually get a response or two before I am finally ready to hit the hay!
