I'm curious - and frankly I don't expect too many answers - but I've noticed a "Posting Phenomena" here.

I am a 'Night Owl', and as such am not too surprised that I find postings few-and-far-between at MY prime time (12am to 4am). But what I find strange & amusing is that even during the day, on weekends, there are still very few posts.

But lo-and-behold, come around 8am monday thru Friday everybody is here chattering away!

Aren't you guys afraid of George's "Big Brother" peeking over your shoulders while you seem to be frittering away those precious Company Resources?

Again, I really don't expect too many responses, since those might be construed as "admissions of guilt". Just an observation.

I come here to get info for work. So I justify it that way. This is a great place at finding good prices and cheap replacements. I learnt about the Pronto, Sima SVS-4 and the RS AV DA. I am sure if I would have asked the VC supplier I would have been in a bigger price range. Plus the link is faster and I use the cookies on my PC, I bring it home on weekends to work on it, but not the evenings.

And remember we are on different time zones right around the world. For me it is currently 8:53am, Tuesday morning. When I come in to work in the morning, I get to see all the posts made during daytime in the Americas time zones.

But Peter, you are still using it at work in the morning, so Mike's question is still valid for you.

So Mike are you making a list so that you can blackmail us latter? :-)

True, but Mke is referring to 8am Texas time, which is 1am my time (if I am calculating correctly), when I'm fast asleep.

It's true. I'd noticed that phenomenon a year ago or so. Especially in this forum.

Mike Riley is a good one for doing most of his posting on a Monday morning. :-/ he he

........ we'll see if he finds THIS post or not! No telling! ;-)

I stole your line? You mean the one I posted 33 full minutes before you posted yours?. GIVE ME A BREAK, JOHN!!

Apparently, narcolepsy can be a hindrance.

Get some help, John!!

absolutely, Positively, NO EFFING WAY ! ! !

{and just-in-case there is some F***ing "EFFING" in England [or anywhere else in the world} . . .

I'M NOT REFERRING TO THAT EITHER ! ! !


Yes, I am TEXAS-centric about this and probably exactly what gives Texas a "bad name" . . . but I'm a TEXIAN, live with it!

(It doesn't change the validity of my advice) {At least I don't think so!!}

(Now, SMILE & CHUCKLE while you read this ! ! ! )

(Following the "gist" of this thread -it's almost 7:00 am TEXAS Time (The CORRECT Time), and time for me to go to sleep. So don't expect any Politically Incorrect Replies until about 3 pm . . . . . TEXAS TIME - of course)

The reason there are fewer posts on this forum is that up until some of the responses showed up in this thread, most people limited there responses to helpful information so that it didn't turn into an immature newsgroup mentality.
