Oh dear, I was afraid that was the case.
For those days when I couldn't post, comment, or vote, if I was a new person I would wonder if it was worth the trouble. And they decided it wasn't. I think if it had gone on much longer I might have decided the same.

I'm not the one with the answers but if it doesn't become easier to be here I'm afraid they're going to have a lot more inactive accounts than they do already.
