Careful! You might encourage him!

Loaf is a simple man.
He prefers to skim when he can.
Once he did plead:
"Too long! Didn't read!"
Must have a short attention span.

(I kid, loaf. I kid!)

Slightly in my defense, I may have crotchety old man syndrome but I don't feel I afflict others with it directly---through a cudgel or otherwise. Only in threads like these do I ever mention it. I prefer instead to contribute to the forum wherever I feel is best, whenever I feel is a good time to contribute. There may be half-decade-long gaps of activity between contributions, but that is my prerogative as a regular member.

And for the record, I blame getting old more than social media. More responsibilities (and thus less time) are the main reasons most of my older, active TFF friends here moved on. Many of them moved on during their college years. Personally, I had to transfer all power from main engineering, so to speak, to write long dissertations about college course topics instead of writing long-winded posts about X controversial topic at TFF. Priorities.
