Jeeze man, you have 8,000+ posts, indeed you do enjoy posting. I also enjoy posting tho will only post when a topic pertains to me somehow, like I have eather experienced something being discused or have an opinion, their are many threads I miss because I have nothing to say, or never had that particular experience. I also usually read every post prior to making my own post, USUSALLY read every post.

It is quite time consuming, and I try to limit my time on the computer but find I am on here quite a lot, perhapse more then I should be. But I enjoy being here and the other site I go to, that site I help parents by posting and shairing my experience or advice, just like on here, this place is for my peers, those I relate the most closest to in life, my favorite kind of interaction pretty much, and then I go and talk to my pals parents of autistic children and try to help and give hope.

Indeed, I have posted quite a bit myself, in fact I think this is the least active summer I have ever had as long as I lived as far as going out and doing stuff cause I spent a portion of my free time on here, but I enjoy doing it

Blah Blah blah blah...

Posting is strangely addictive, I haven't been here recently but I seem to be doing rather a lot, I'm just glad there's no such thing as Forum Withdrawal.

I don't think I post too much (what's too much?), but I do like to browse the forums...

I joined the WP in the summer, when I had so much free time I didn't know what to do with myself. Now I am back in school, and when I should be reading or working, I go on the WP quite often instead...

Right now, for instance: I have three essays due this week and I need to get started on them, but look where I am, haha.

In my time zone, WP goes down for maintenance at 10PM every night. I attribute THAT to the fact that I am still employed in good standing simply because it forces me to get off the computer and go to bed!

Yeah. It's cuz i went through a thing where i didn't post much at all, maybe a post a day. Now, if all the PM's i sent counted for my post count, that'd be a different story.

I am shocked by the number of posts I've been responsible for in such a short period of time. I don't understand it. I'm a very solitary person. I'm not usually interested in forums or other forms of social interaction. And yet posting here is relaxing, somehow, so my post count keeps going up.

I have been on here almost since WP's inception (in 2004), and I didn't even start posting until March 2006. I had actually forgotten I was a member--I was frequenting other forums.

But it has been a steady uptick in the frequency of posts, with larger upticks when I approach an increment of 500 posts.

Just like Phillip Morris introduced increases levels of nicotine to addict more smokers...

WP creates fun little games that only require posts of three words to addict members to posting :twisted:

I think the government is onto us! 8O
