I would say 10-15 times a day also. And let me say this... don't think for a minute that I don't think about the fact that if i actually worked effeciently during the hour a day I spend here, I could be out shooting ducks or leaves or who the heck knows. But i am too addicted.

Or is it just me? :DChrissy, why not just keep a window open all the time. Set POTN as you home page? Then you dont have to check, it's right at you finger tips.

Hmmm...you may be on to something there...:D

Yeah, it's probably more realistically 15 times day. It's just nice to find people that share your interests.

Some POTN'ers out here have a high average post count per day, but certainly many lurkers spend a lot of time here without posting often.

Actually on site or just logged in? My system has been logged in almost continuously for they past 3 years. My network is always up...so I can just sit down at any terminal and see what is going on.

I'm not even close to the top of the list in the posts per day race...there are people that average over 50....(50.52 posts per day) and I am not even sure that is the highest.

Is there a race? Heck I just though that there were a bunch of folks stuc in front of a computer 18 hours a day and board out of their minds. Maybe I should get my marathon number, pin it on, and start racing. :)

Glad to know I'm not alone here! Unfortunately, I don't have access to a computer at my job. Actually, that's probably a good thing! But between this site and Facebook I don't know how I ever get anything done when I'm home! :)

Having been pretty much laid up with a bad knee for the past 4 weeks has boosted my visits here a lot. Certainly there's always something new & interesting to read / learn about or just admire the fascinating pictures everyone takes, and has really helped relieve the boredom of being sofa ridden.

I stumbled on this site (Good old Google) earlier this month and have found it hugely informative and entertaining. I've purchased a lens hood, 50mm 1.8 lens, and downloaded DPP solely on the strength of what I've read here. Problem is I'm in publishing with many tight deadlines, thanks to lurking around here every five minutes I'm about half a day in real time behind where I should be on our current job. Which reminds me, I'd better get back to it...

And some people here are kind enough to put their items on Ebay so you can take advantage of the Live cashback.

I pretty much gave up my job as a moderator on another huge unrelated board, to be here. But this is where I am for now. Had I not been here when I was, I would have missed a couple of great deals on stuff I was looking for, and even more advice and assist I wasn't planning on and dearly appreciate ;)
