One's technology helps. I post from my laptop which takes a minimum of 7 seconds to respond to a refresh or post to CUK.Originally posted by DS23 View Postyou'd think we would have it down to a fine art by now. and maybe bear has.
This makes timing impossible for the '000 posts - there is no way you can do a refresh, see the list of posts, switch to a prepared message and submit it without having five others get in there first.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

I keep promising myself I will write something to download all of TPD, but I spend too much time posting here to do anything so constructive!Originally posted by DS23 View Postmind you the stats don't lie. who has the most? i guess we will never know.
