It takes only a few seconds to read and respond to a message posted to
FFL, since most of them don't amount to very much anyway. If you want
you could respond to each and every post in real-time by setting your
email client to sound a beep sound alerting you to new mail - that way,
you could respond in a more timely manner to all the queries and
untruths that are posted. Go figure.
It takes only a few minutes to read even a long post like Robin posted.
If you've got a broadband connection and a good email client like
Thunderbird anyone could post hundreds of messages a day to various
discussion groups. It's not complicated to be a nerd top-poster. You
could do it if you could just put more focus into it and concentrate on
what you are doing. Try to F O C U S, Barry.
All you need to do is get yourself situated in your bedroom upstairs
with your laptop and a few dogs or cats and you could be reading the
internet all day and night too. Or, just get employment in a job where
you are at a computer connected to the internet all day and you could do
some multi-tasking while you are coding or editing, maybe switching
windows up and down. A really dedicated nerd-poster would have two
computer monitors hooked up so as to have a dedicated screen just to
monitor all the posts sent to FFL.
However, if you want to be a serious informant to a discussion group,
you would be working at home out of a home office near the ocean with a
window you can look out of to see the sea. You could take some bathroom
breaks if you take your smart phone with you, or if you wanted to take a
city bus to a store to get some supplies, you could take a tablet with
you if you wanted to. It's all a matter of positioning and placement.
