I spend too much time on web boards. Not just this one, lots of others Slashdot, etc. Tonight I am letting everybody on every board I use know (except where the community is too large for anybody to care) that I'm not doing any web boards until *next* Monday night.
It's an addiction, an incredible time sink, and I think it's actually gotten to the point of harming my work. This is not to say that the boards are evil or anything, just that it needs to be done in moderation.
So, I'm having a "week without web boards" kind of like the TV-free periods that people do sometimes. Not that I think boards have sunk to the level of TV, either (at least not most of the ones I use). At least with boards you have two-way interraction with real people.
And, the nice thing about this board is that it's small enough so that if I break my vow somebody will call me on it.
I promise that if you fall behind on your promise, that I'll yell at you REALLY loudly and call you mean names.
k? :) Good luck.
Yeah we'll keep your word... No more web boards for this man
Steve NoVA is now in Rehab...
*Grin*
Cya soon mate.... Hey wait a minute... what are doing reading this message???? Go on shoo! Next Monday...not before...
Yep, web boards need to be read and used in moderation. I'm only part of one web board, this one, so most of the time I only spend 10 minutes a day on the computer. I used to spend hours before, but I've got much better things to do these days, like beach parties, girls, keeping fit, planning my future... :P
