answers. You are obviously not willing to look very far, however. Not
writing a paper, by any chance?

That, by the way, is a running joke on the list. Whenever anyone shows up
with a laundry list of questions, and then goes into a huff because none of
them have been answered, the stock response almost always is: "Not writing a
paper, by any chance?" Or something like that.

Another running joke: Whenever anyone posts a "What is the Eternal Return?"
question, the stock response tends to be: "Oh no, not that thing again!" Or
some such response, accompanied by various grunts, moans, and bodily noises.

Of course, it just happens that, more often than not, posters of "What is
the Eternal Return?" questions just happen to be writing papers...
