>Comparing to what went on some years back, UT chatter nowadays is as clean/exciting as an upscale area pharmacy in comparison to old port bordello chatter room, from the begin of the century..

Pick a century...

I guess the reason the chatter is half dead now is that, well, we are a club of old farts and we know each other for decades, so I can't expect much in terms of novelty, original ideas, fresh dissatisfaction with this or that - it's nothing new to most of us.

The mysterious part is why on Earth would anyone click on a link in a signature. That's among the best places to hide things in plain sight, nobody ever clicks there.
