Speaking only for myself, I find the constantly updated total log-in time to be a bit intimidating. Do I really want to KNOW how may DAYS or
MONTHS
I have wasted in front of the computer screen exchanging droll drivel with you all?
NO, I do not. It makes me feel guilty when I think of all the productive things I COULD have accomplished had I put that time to good use.
Number of posts? No problem. There's a little twinge of satisfaction to be had there, thinking of all the smart sentinence and cosmic colloquialisms I have bestowed upon my brothers hereabouts.
I dunno, but IF the Powers That Be decided to delete that annoying and irritating little statistic from the home page, I, for one, would not consider it a great loss.
Tendentious thoughts such as this afflict me on New Year's Day on a regular basis as I take stock of my progress over the past twelve months - progress that seems to be measured in millimeters rather than milestones these days.
Thank goodness you now have twelve more entire months to be spared my spurious ruminations.......
