How Do Some Members Find The Time .....

  • I am posting in anonymous just in case some folks might admit something they wouldn't want publicly know. 

    My question- how do some members of Cathinfo find the time to post so often and, in some cases, very long posts?

    How many hours do you spend on this website? What about other websites?

  • I've often wondered that too.  I don't have time to read all the posts, let-alone write long posts myself.  I know part of it must be that others are good at typing what they want to say quickly, without overanalyzing every word they've written as I would.  And of course there are posts where people just give their opinion, which could be quicker than posts which are more factual, which (for me at least) would require more time to make sure I got my facts absolutely correct.  But I am often mystified by how much others post in any case.

  • I just post in between my other duties.  

    When my posts are longer, its because I rewarded myself with like 30 minutes to an hour of time on CathInfo.

    At least in theory that is what I try to do, if a conversation gets too heated and I feel like I have to explain myself more, then I end up spending too much time here.

  • I have a job where i'm on the computer all day.  I can also type very fast.  It's easy to post many, many times during the day.

    THIS ^^^.  It's not hard.  Once an hour on average, I'll skim the various threads to see if anything new was posted, focusing on threads I'm intersted in (maybe 10% on average).  Then I'll open it up, see the post, and then may or may not respond.

    Despite the fact that I'm the most prolific poster on CathInfo, I only post an average of 8.2 post per day, many of which are short ones.  I type very quickly (people at work have made comments about how my keyboard sounds like a machine gun, where I can almost keep up with the speed of thought.  AND, I think about these types of issues and questions a lot, so that on a subject I'm familiar with, and likely have posted dozens of times already about, it just flows out of my brain and in through my keyboard.  I'd have to say that the total time I spend on average per day is, oh, 45 minutes, with about 10-15 sessions of skimming threads for 2-3 minutes at a time on average, and then about 8 times per day I'll chose to engage, sometimes taking 30 seconds, sometimes a minute.  I would probably guess that my average post, if you factor in the long ones, takes maybe 4-5 minutes.

    It's not all that hard.  Where things are hard is trying to produce polished material.  I have about a dozen "articles" I started on my Substack page, but the need to make them more polished and more well-written, etc. ... well, I've not published a single one of them since I started about 6 months ago, because I don't feel they're finished.  With posts on CI, I rattle them off without any consideration for style, and often for tone, and that gets people sometimes misreading my tone as being "hostile" where it's mostly just matter-of-fact, boom boom boom, without any consideration for style or tone or anything else, just straight from my brain onto the screen.

    Yeah, that's the other thing too.  I'm on a computer probably 12 hours per day on average, due to being a programmer with two jobs.  When your brain is exhausted, where other people go to the water cooler and discuss sports, politics, etc. ... I will have a look on CathInfo, since those other subjects do not interest me, so in a way it's my substitute for the social and intellectual interaction I'd love to have with people about subjects that matter to me.  I've always hated "small talk", and therefore tend to stay away from most social gatherings, because I hate talking about things that I don't care about just for the sake of talking.  I'd rather think about and then post about Catholic topics here than spend even a second talking about sports or even politics.  But, then, if it's a subject I care about ... it's hard to shut me up.  I was talking on the phone with Matthew on Sunday for a good long time, and he can attest to the fact that I can ramble on, so the reticence that most people associate with me has to do with what I care about rather than some other reason that people might imagine (e.g. being anti-social).  Well, I am a bit anti-social too, where most people's idea of "social" entails parties, loud (rock) music, etc. etc.

    I meant to not be anonymous, but someone posted at the same time and I forgot to check the box again.

    Worst part of the feature is that when you click the button to post something and it kicks back saying someone else has posted in the meantime, and then you click Post again, it has already taken the liberty of un-checking the "NOT ANONYMOUS" box.

    That's another question too.  I spend very little time on any other sites or forums, whereas some of the other members are active on other ones.  Very early on, I was on catholic.com and got banned 3 or 4 times (for saying nothing particularly incendiary), but since then I've only been on CI.  I'll spend a few minutes here and there on X looking for stuff from the handful of people I follow, but am not very active there.  Between the two, I'd say a total of one hour per day on average.

    I am also not posting anywhere else.  I like to keep my life simple.

  • I sit behind a computer 8 hours a day with little or nothing to do.  I work for a small internet company in Louisville, Iglou, and we sell ATT internet service, and deal with other computer stuff.  All the people in the office are conservative, so I can say whatever in the hell I want (completely off topic).   I check Cathinfo periodically throughout the day as I read Catholic books, etc.  I get absorbed in my Substack page, but tend to be a perfectionist when I write, but it is what it is.  Currently working on an article on the Sandy Hook Scam of ten years ago, among other things.

    I'm curious, will you be interviewing the funeral directors who assisted the families in Newton, Connecticut?  It would seem suspicious if you didn't explore ALL of the information available.  One hundred sixty funeral directors across Connecticut traveled to Newton to help.  I've even done some of the leg work for you.

    Twelve CFDA (Connecticut Funeral Directors Association) member funeral homes received victims of the shooting. All but three of the victims were buried in Connecticut.  Honan Funeral Home was chosen by 11 of the families.  The others were buried in Massachusetts, New York and Utah.

    For the most part, the volunteers were centered at Honan Funeral Home. As the bodies were released by the medical examiner, they were taken to Carmon Community Funeral Homes in Windsor, and West Haven Funeral Home in West Haven, facilities large enough to handle the embalming and preparation of 11 bodies.
    Emilie Parker was buried next to her grandfather in Ogden, Utah.  Her local care was handled by the Jowdy-Kane Funeral Home in Danbury, Connecticut and in Utah by the Myers Mortuary in Ogden, Utah.  They would be good to contact.

    Thanks for sharing. I disagree, having a different opinion. The anonymous forum can be quite useful in certain cases. Opinions are like armpits, everyone has one, and it stinks.

    You want to be a normie so bad, don't you. You wish you had never tasted the red pill. Here's the problem, buddy. If just a couple parts of the Sandy Hook narrative disprove it, then the whole thing is disproven. However many inconclusive or neutral bits of evidence there are. With most official stories, many bits of evidence could go either way. For example it's impossible to prove a negative. Many parts of an official lie/story do work or make sense. It's the parts that don't work, that can't work, that disprove the entire story.

    A bunch of funeral directors traveling to a location don't prove anything. I would consider that evidence inconclusive at best. Of course they're going to put in some degree of effort to pull off any fαℓѕє fℓαg or scam. What's your next bit of proof, that it was all covered on the mainstream news?
