you know, i can't help but wonder if this was partly my fault.
yesterday, i came VERY close to starting a thread saying something like "can the forum slow down a bit, i've been busy lately, i can't keep up with all the happenings"--but i didn't for obvious reasons.
but now, i'm thinking if i HAD started a thread like that, none of this would have happened, because that one action would have changed the actions that followed, and those actions would have caused different re-actions, and so on..... and all the weird happenings of late would not have happened."The butterfly effect is the idea that in a chaotic system, a
very small change to the system applied at a certain point
in time makes the future change in a very dramatic way.
Something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings now
might affect the weather system on a global scale six
months in the future.
