In the last week, a strange thing has occurred.  At first, CH contributors were puzzled as to just why things were a little better.  Weirdly, the dims are a bit more switched on.  The dimherders are almost reasonable.  Even the dimlord has been... friendly.
We considered various possible explanations; perhaps a unique combination in biorhythms of all involved.  Maybe the planets are perfectly aligned.  We even wondered if all of the dim-crew had been replaced by beings from another planet.
But the truth is rather more revealing...  A particular person is absent, and most worryingly, this person is from the non-dim side of the fence.
