don't know why, but I'm suddenly addicted to this forum. I could spend hours browsing different posts and responses, and if I found one interesting, I will log in and respond. The time I spent in browsing this forum is becoming longer than the time I spent in writing papers or marking papers...

Unfortunately, many of us know this syndrome. On the other hand, I've started gambling again and spend less time here. Good news or bad?

That's because I've been on the stock boards at Yahoo.

Please. People complain about me left and right, but let's face it--I keep this place lively.

I'm a racist, capitalist dog, and I hate Canadians, except Grassy and other Canadian forumites.

I'm addicted to this forum whenever I have grading or cleaning to do.  I've thought of creating another identity called "Freret" which I could pretend was Prytania's other personality (a scary one that calls everyone "dear" and "sweetie" and recommends wearing pink sweater sets and pearls as the solution to all problems in the classroom), but then I realized that almost no one would get it. 

Musing about this got me through a committee meeting, though.

Just FYI as your post implies you might not know this...

If you log in before you start browsing, the software will keep track of the posts you've read.  Then when you click on, say, meet and greet, there will be this little blue thing that says 'new' next to threads that have new posts since the last time you read them.  AND if you click on the word 'new' it will take you right to the first new post in the thread.  It's a very cool function.

The "Show unread posts since last visit." and "Show new replies to your posts." functions are very cool as well.

It took me several months to discover them.

Thank you stitch! I forgot this post and a couple of minutes ago I discovered this function "Show new replies to your posts" and here I am! How I wish I should have read your post a month ago!

It wears off most folks, but one never quite leaves the fold.  Great place for job info.  I think the fora has been grim lately, like the economy.

Yes, even I have been put off my donuts-and-surrealism routine.  Must remedy that.
