...,so I won't bother to change it.
Hail Nicodemus,
I'm surprised to read a reply like yours in a place like this. This is a website dedicated to two virtual pc games: Diablo and Diablo II. It has some forums in it, and they are frequently visited by generally the same people over and over again. Sure enough, every few days a new member joins, but seeing that some more experienced lurkers claim to have been here in the beginning, and the respect in here can only be earned by quality over time (e.g. 'mileage'), as a respected and trusted member of this society, you have to be online quite a bit.
I know many people who would regard this 'online time at a game forum' equally abnormal as the time this guy spend to extend and embellish his beloved computer. While we don't think so (or we wouldn't be posting here), it's generally in the eye of the viewer.
I think I remember a flame of Pete some time ago, that went like this:
NewMember: I think you all ought to get out a little bit more. Just a piece of friendly advice.
Pete: So, you need to STFU and lurk till you have a clue. Just a piece of 'friendly advice'.
That describes it pretty well. I can imagine a bunch of computer junkies like this 'Reason' guy replying just like Pete did.
They may see no single reason to change anything in their life.
I wouldn't give up the lurkerlounge just because someone told me to get back to 'real life', too. :blink:
Just my two cents.
Greetings, Fragbait
Edit: the title is meant to be: "It is his life...". Oh well.
