I just found out why Dr. J has been mostly unavailable for comment since the FractoBowl. He has come down with some kind of fractal flu. Dr. J., it would seem has caught a bad case of something, which especially in fractal space, can result in quarantine. Positive ID of the cause was just announced. He has the dreaded and feared Fractint Virus. This virus can result in previously well connected fractals becoming Fatou dust in hours. See Figure 1.

Figure 1. Dr. J has the dreaded and feared Fractint Virus.
Please, if you know of a cure for this illness, let us know immediately. Dr. J does not have much time.
Stay healthy,
Jay
