How many times do you people check and post each day? I swear people come like 3 times a day to check new messages...

Since I'm around all day most of the time, it's pretty much whenever I'm bored.... about every thirty seconds. =P

I've been there. When the nets really slow, you have nothing better to do.

You just sit there. clicking 'Retrieve new messages', wait 2 seconds, 'no new messages'. Repeat about 10 times a minute.

LOL. I must be really pathetic, then, because I have a number of perfectly good e-mail addresses to check, I'm far behind on my reading up on this one Duran Duran forum I *used* to keep on top of all the time, I could very well be writing this one bit of fan fic that's been in my head for *weeks*, I could be doing another diary entry, I could be working on my Duran Duran site, or my Nick Rhodes webring...but *NOOOO*, I choose to sit here clicking "Get Msg" every other minute. And writing posts (I *know* how to work that Reply button!). And scrolling down to make sure the dialogue box didn't lie when it said "No new messages on server."

Oh, occasionally I'll check my EarthLink e-mail. Yeah. That's easy. I already have Messenger open, so all I'd have to do is scroll up to "Inbox" and click on "Get Msg". Then when I'm finished checking out the maybe one or two messages (I need to subscribe to *all* my mailing lists via this addy) I get, I scroll down again to access this ng. Again. Eeep.

And at least ICQ has, for now, been kept out of the Instant Messaging War between AOL and Microsoft (despite the fact that ICQ is now owned by AOL; anyone placing bets as to how soon ICQ gets folded into AOL's IM, or it becomes IM-compatible?).

There must be a lot of bored people around these days. The posting volume has held pretty steady at around 100 a day. Umm... I know you guys are having fun and all, but could you tone it down a bit? I may have to drop atd for time's sake if it gets any bigger.

Let me put it this way...I always keep the window where I access my a.t.d posts open and will keep on my computer for days at a time, thus enabling me to easily access and post to the Daria newsgroup several times a day for a number of days. In fact I think the last time I turned off this machine was last Saturday. It's turn off time tonight (for a few seconds of course) so I should be good and gone for a bit tonight. But then I'll resume my a.t.d fun.

SOMEONE HELP ME! I'M ADDICTED TO THIS NEWSGROUP!

Oooh..."Suburban Berlin" is on...pretty songie...*g*

Cricket↩ Matthias Benkmann

I wish I had the luxury of posting 2 or 3 times a day (or better still, 2-3 times an hour). Alas, I must spend the better part of my day toiling away to help pay off this computer, which I share with 4 others in my household, and can usually only get access to on Fridays after 11 p.m. That is when I will usually post & reply to other posts, so you'll hear from me about once a week (at least).

Well, I used to just check once a day or so, but lately the traffic here has shot through the roof, so if I don't check it twice a day, I get hopelessly behind on all sorts of weirdness. And I need the good weirdness I get from this NG.

Don't forget to run screaming into the night.

I wake up, have a shower, get dressed, and then download the newsgroup before packing up the laptop and taking it to work. At lunchtime I try to go through as many posts as I can while I'm offline, then pack up and wait until I can go home. When I get home I watch the Daria episode I've taped, have tea, then dial up and do another download of the newsgroup (which also uploads my replies), then read and post a bit more. And so it ends and begins again.

Bill.
