    Default Major problem with this BBS

    I have discovered a major problem with this BBS. It takes up too much time. By the time I have done a search for all the latest contributions and read them all and then done another search in case something came in while I was reading something else, there is no time left to actually do anything.

    I get home at 4:30 in the morning, check the board. OK, there are 3 pages of stuff to read. 1 to 1 1/2 hours later I go to bed.
    Get up about 2pm and check the board. OK, 2 pages of stuff to catch up on.

    Go downstairs to my workroom to have a look around; damn I left a tool upstairs in the computer room. While I am getting it I may as well check out the board again. ... And so it goes.

    6 pm, time to make dinner. Ah well another day gone.

    Probably pick on you for bad spelling, or something so trivial.

    JeeszIdunno, I try to make a joke and everybody jumps down my throat.

    Also Gumby, I don't think that you should bring Hovo's Grandmother into this either. Shame on you picking on a little old lady.

    That's funny, I seem to remember having a similar conversation with you recently, John.

    I've been visiting this BB for so long during work time that my productivity standards (based on last years results) are based on times when I was visiting. This means if I don't visit my figures will be wrong, and I don't want to be too productive, could put some one out of a job.

    Yes, drugs - that's the problem. I keep forgetting to take my medication.

    Silent (Darren)
    We know who you are...

    I am truly sorry to all that don't like Shakespeare, but as John Hambly so eloquently put it... "Silent C. started it!"
    By now you all know I am a chalkie and therefore prone to outbursts of idiocy such as...

    ...But to say I know more harm in him than in myself, were to say more than I know. That he is old, the more the pity, his white hairs do witness it; but that he is, saving your reverence, a whoremaster, that I utterly deny. If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant, being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company...

    So Mr. Silent Falstaff
    You have been uncloaked.
    Ha
    cheers
    Jim
    Cheers
