Hm... on and off, from maybe five minutes/week to several hours. I hilight certain people, and then read the threads that those people have posted in. If those folks haven't posted much, it's just a couple of minutes to check, and if they've posted a lot, I end up spending a lot more time. If I get really busy, I drop usenet for months at a time. > I confess to ZERO -- because I never quite figured out what they were or > how to use the tools (or took the trouble to investigate). I pretty much avoid all web-forums, as just about every experience I have with a web-forum is painful to annoying. -- Blogs are a better communication mechanism than web-forums.
