I've noticed that I have alot of posts in a short amt of time, but I enjoy using the computer or electronics period. My employees used to tease me 'cause I'd bombard them w/ emails (work related) and my friends call me a "techy" or "Connie Chung" because I email out current events, etc. in a flash.
Usually I'm multitasking - I maybe rocking my baby w/ one foot, or holding her while she naps while typing (yep - she's "well loved" and doesn't let me put her down much), or talking w/ family, or talking on the phone w/ business contacts all with 5 different Windows open - which may be GC, employment apps, email, cnn, or any other research or info I'm looking up (and no, I'm not ADD
). Not to mention there's life before/after posting - daily devotion, "chuch" taking care of the baby, pushing business, cooking & "cleanting", "wifely duties"
, helping w/ homework, job searching, talking a walk, meetings, and trying to squeeze in a novel here & there....
Soooo.... no - if someone posts alot it doesn't mean they don't have a life (even though I've joked about it) or that all life for them has halted because of posting or being on the net. Some like clubbing/ dancing, some like knitting, sewing or whatever floats your boat. The net is just another form of enjoyment out there among the plethora of things that occupy our time. The nice thing is - you don't have to "just sit" at the computer - you can get up - do what ever and go back to it from time to time. It doesn't take that long to post - a simple "yep." or "I agree," or even a "
" counts as a post (whereas you may just
think it - someone else might post it).
Kinda like the post in Greek Life where a glo (I think he's a glo member) called the BGLO initiation process "strange". Not strange - different.
Now - when someone turns into a "hermit" - avoids all human contact, turns internet stalker or predator, or starts having GC fantasies - then
there's a reason to worry.
But - if it wasn't for the frequent posters and returning members - wouldn't GC be a pretty boring message board?
