Sometimes, throwing some data in the middle of a debate causes a lot of rucous. I don't intend that. But, I do want to point something out regarding the concern over Joanne's number of posts.
Today, I was look at this thread http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...d.php?t=102872. The first post in the thread is fairly long. I dumped it into MS-Word just to see the word count, and came out with 498. I then went through all the most recent posts of Joanne. I noticed two things.
First, it took ___19___ posts by Joanne to exceed the word count as that one post. 19. Think about that. 19.
Second, the first 7 most recent posts by Joanne (well, at this moment anyways) were completed in 13 minutes. The 15 posts prior to that were all done in 62 minutes, just over an hour (9:09 am to 10:11 am). She completed 22 posts in a total of 75 minutes.
From these two pieces of data, it's pretty obvious to me that Joanne doesn't spend much time per post, and is very rapid fire with her posts.
Contrast; a post I made today I know took me more than half an hour to think about and put together carefully. I write lots and lots per post typically, and am not often at a loss for words or readily capable of editing my own words down to get to the point quickly. If Joanne's above rates are typical, she would have banged out about 8 posts in the same time.
Is Joanne 8 times more addicted to this forum than I am? I don't think so.
[Edit: And this post (prior to this edit) is 270 words...10 times as long as Joanne's average post. Am I 10 times more addicted than she is?]
Thank you Shelia for the congratulations - yes we are going out to dinner and
then a concert - and I have sent her roses for the last 3 days as well

If it's your anniversary what the hell are you doing here. Be with you wife. If you can't be with her what better present could you give her than a day off of this forum. Prove to her that you can do it.

Wow I thought I was bad. When I first discovered this forum I couldn't get enough of it. That lasted about a week or so, maybe more. My wife picked up on it too, she told me as much after I came out to her later on. I still love it here but only three or four times a week. Everyone is different but I couldn't come close to that much involvement in any one thing. Even if I paid that much attention to my wife, who says I don't pay enough attention to her, she would probably shoot me lol.
