I will not divulge any more ;)


That would be nice to have. A companion monkey to obsess over things for me when I am unable to do so myself. :D

I'm most likely to sit and obsess on that in the middle of the night when I'm up due to insomnia. During that time, most members in the Western Hemisphere are usually asleep and the Australians are active on the site, but the Australians have been unusually quiet lately, so I just sit there hitting the refresh button waiting for someone to post something. :(

I tend to agree with Sean in the fact that I can usually get caught up in hitting F5 on the main forum waiting to see what somebody is going to say next.
