Okay, this is a perfectly valid question, as it relates to strategic planning for future primitives.
As most have noticed, cousin nadin doesn't post as much as she used to; in fact, she rarely posts at all any more.
Depriving the DUmpster of some good inventory (which of course is franksolich's major concern).
Something got to her, because man, she used to be all over Skins's island.
Was it (a) her fellow primitives, who doubted her, and who felt no hesitation about saying so?--primitives such as zappaman, SidDithers, our own special mole who's not there any more, and all the other primitives who made it to the famous "iggy" list.
Was it (b) us, who quoted cousin nadin quite extensively, enabling both decent and civilized people and lurking primitives, to learn more about her?
Was it (c) external forces such as her husband, her boss at the metropolitan newspaper, and Skins, who told her to stop making herself look like a fool, to stop being so obnoxious?
Was it (d) cousin nadin herself, coming to the realization that she hadn't been doing herself any favors being the way she was, and so is trying to evolve into a better person?
Somebody, somewhere, got to her, as this is a drastic change in conduct and behavior.
One can only speculate, but speculate, please.....
