How much time do you spend on this forum

I spend a couple hours a day reading posts and checking my e-mail and barely read 1/4 of what is posted let a lone
have time to respond to the posts.
It looks to me like a large number of people must spend 6-8 hours or more a day
reading posts. Plus how much time is spend looking at E-bay and dealer websites.
I know from past experince that one can get caught up in discussion groups I did 4-5 years ago with
stocks. I think the 2 hours I spend a day is really more than I should be spending, as I have a
business to run and kids at home.
Unless one is retired or not working it seems like our time could be better spend. I enjoy this hobby alot
but get concerned that I am not concentrating on the coins but on other things that in the long run don't matter.
So many of the subjects lately are just petty and the same people argue over and over again the
same points. They must not have much of a life outside of this forum.
Some members have my greatest respect and I try to read all there posts as they are to the point and
helpful not self serving.
Enough babblying what I am mainly getting at is please stop posting unless it is important as I only have 2 hours a day
to read this.
Thank You for your time

Willy if you spend 2 hours a day reading this board, I'd suggest you find another hobby - like collecting coins perhaps?

First of all, you are increasing your PPM's
Second, I do 30 minutes over lunch and about 90 minutes at night (usually every day, on average). I also multitask with many other family, household and coin related activities while surfing.
I love Ike dollars and all other dollar series !!!
I also love Major Circulation Strike Type Sets, clad Washingtons ('65 to '98) and key date coins !!!!!
If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't we have more happy people ??

Please don't think I was referring to you.
of our size(Im a bear remember) we are allowed to have bigger days with more hours in them.

The NGC Forum, while much less active, is more serious minded, and quite frankly, a bit too serious minded for my skill level. I split some time between the two, but probably less than 30 minutes a day between the two, and I can now go days without replying to a post as most are either out of depth of knowledge, or giant pissing contests.
I probably used to spend two hours a day on average reading these boards.
Just mosy on over to the NGC board if you are short on time because you can read and reply to EVERY post and only spend 2 hours per month.
I'm unemployed & being a bum right now so I have all the time in the world that's why I have been posting a lot lately.
