And I'll take a moment to address the slander from LastTrad (hurled, among other insults, in his rage or fury). This is the second time that I've had to deal with this accusation after he got argued into a corner.
Everyone can see my posting stats. I post an average of 6.5 times per day. I type quickly and it takes me an average of about 60 seconds to type a post, some longer, some shorter. Even if it's 3 minutes per post, that's 20 minutes per day, and hardly constitutes "most of my day". Let's say I'm being extremely conservative and say that I spend an additional 40 minutes per day reading various posts, in order to respond to them. I usually look at the threads on the right side to see which ones I have interest in and decide which ones I feel like spending my time on.
So my time on CathInfo averages about 1 hour per day, not "most of the day". And I work as a computer programmer, where every 45 minutes or so you have to take a mental break from programming. It's nearly impossible to sustain 8 hours straight of concentration. So when I start hitting a wall and feel the need to take a break, I bring up CI, have a look, and sometimes post. You'll notice that in the first link I posted, the notion of micro-dosing originated with programmers in Silicon Valley. It's a very common thing to be stuck on a programming problem, and then walk away or go to the bathroom, or whatever, and then the solution to your problem just spontaneously presents itself just because you've stepped away from the thought-entanglement.
I work both jobs remote, but the practice there at the office is for people to talk (about all kinds of things, from weather to sports to history to politics, and (a programmer favorite) science fiction, etc. etc.) or goof around and play jokes or go outside for a walk. So I actually get more work done remote than I did at the office, having to try to excuse myself from talking about the local sports teams.
