There was a lull after hitting refresh so many times, so I decided to post this article on internet addiction. Not because I am addicted, or that any of my fellow FReepers are addicted...it's for all those other people out there.

I probably hit F5 every 20 seconds to see if a thread is growing or not.

Back in the days of Windows 3.1, one could click onto a log which showed how much time one spent on the computer. When I upgraded, the phone bill (dial-up) showed how many minutes, nay hours, I was on the internet. Now I have Firefox and don’t know if there is such a logging available and with broadband, I still don’t know. Perhaps it is best that I don’t know just how much I’m on here. Mostly on FR too! Thanks, Jim!!!! and everyone else. Best place to be.

As for your thoughtfulness, Wardenclyffe, thank you.
