Yea i too pioneered when it was 90 hours and worked a regular job... Sigh..... I would say even then (early 90's) there was a definite social element but that serious element was strong. Now it really does seem to have swung to be almost totally social. Not just people standing at carts, in all phases. They tap lightly on doors, they slow walk all the time, return visits are always people not at home. Its always too hot or too cold or too rainy.. In the old days it was neither rain nor sleet....
its awesome! Nothing better than seeing a doomsday cult peter along with no real sense of urgency :)
