I suppose this is like a game thread.. so lets see what happens.


... you log off to do something, forget what it is, and sign back on and then you remember what it was, sign off, and then forget again..  ;D

...during the day you think of potential topics to post about! :D

.. you check in more often than your e-mail.

...you think to yourself that there is a similar thread on this theme already.

you have carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrists/hands, but your job has nothing to do with computers.
          Gee, well, I...I always wanted more pain-that is real, to complain about. :P

... when you get psyched to check it when you wake up in the morning!

You go around bumping people.

When you call your friends names like Quirk, FussBudgetVanPelt, and whistledog.

...you start bumping old threads!

^ ;D

You begin to tell funny stories about posting, but realise your friends won't get it.

You hope someone around you will help you :D

Then why are you posting? ;)

There have been many times, in the past few years, when I've been the only one logged in at a given moment. And in such occasions, I don't wanna leave, because no one will be around...which doesn't seem right. :-\\

It really doesn't matter to me how many people are logged in, for me anyway. If you feel better logging with others, that's okay with me. Since it depends on the schedules of other people, I just do it anytime I want. Fot someone like Phil who is on the other side of the globe, his morning is our evening; sometimes he can't log in on times went we're on. But the forums seem to picking up. Hopefully there will be enough posters in the future for everyone to be occupied.
