h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You have a couple of hours free and think 'Aha! I'll use that time to catch up on a thread with 100 plus new postings".

Or you don't have any time, but you decide to check up on the 100 new postings anyway.

Traveller in Time trying to keep up
"You realise that the number of new postings you get in an hour is more then you have read in that hour.

Trying to read an entry. "

You get an idea for a thread from the thread that was inpired by an idea someone got from your thread twenty minutes before.

When you rank 200+ post backlogs among your greatest fears

When you get over that fear, only to have it replaced by a 300+ Backlog fear.

When you think of a brilliant cure to this ailment by continually posting and not allowing anyone else to get a post in edgeways.

When you know for a fact that no matter how slow you are at typing, you can STILL get a post in.

When you look for clues to everyday problems... lol, its got to be on here surely?


Dammit!
