[quote] hell, yes welcome, we need you, the rest for some reason seem to be dying off
Tho we won't miss the misanthropes [/quote ] I've sort of thought since I joined this site that lots of people have died off. Boredom. It says there are 6781 members with over 12,000 topics. But many have just died for want of contribution. I like it here, however, and enjoy all you folks, and am so appreciative for the help I've received over the months. Blessed new year to you all. We get a lot of what might be called drive-by posters, folks who come in with one question and are never heard of again. There are others who drop out through changed circumstances or a desire to leave the net entirely. Some change screen names for whatever reason. As far as I know we've only had one death, wwh, AKA Dr. Bill. Well with almowt 12,000 posts I sure hope you are ataying.

[quote] I see good possibilities in your responses: I could call myself a "soloist," but I'd have to keep explaining that I don't play a musical instrument. I'd be happy to call myself an "einzelganger," but I'd still have to go through all that explaining. (Of course, "doppelganger" is widely understood.) "Claustrophile" has great potential. As a word, I find it pleasing. However, it isn't perfectly accurate because I don't mind being alone in wide, open places.
How do you feel about a new English word? What's your opinion of "disanthrope"? It doesn't imply hatred, but disaffection is implied. I eagerly await your comments. Without your support, I'll have to go through life as a pleasant einzelganger. I like that word, disanthrope. I have so many trees planted in my yard no one can see me from their houses and this is a city. I like being alone. Welcome to the site.

Yes, some Southwestern Sauerkraut with Australian "rollmop salad " (whatever that might be) would do nicely. It's what we call rolled pickled herring fillets. ...a recipe for rollmop saladFrom Wikipedia "The name 'rollmops' is German and Dutch in origin [1][2], originating from the words rollen (to roll) and Mops (German name of pug dogs / "blockhead") [2]. In English usage, the word is sometimes treated as both singular and plural [2], but at other times as the plural of the singular "rollmop" [1]. (In German, Rollmops is singular with the umlaut-plural form Rollmöpse.)"
