    It didn't make me uncomfortable, Questions. I just love a good mystery and I couldn't help myself by making some fun!

    I like the feature because I have started to grow quite fond of my new "e-friends".
    FWIW when I log in and see, for example, kcab is online, I say whooppeeeeeeee!!!!!

    I feel the same way, kcab & incog. I like knowing there's more on the way soon! laugh

    I agree that the "who's reading what" is a wee bit Orwellian though.

    Shall we time one another's reading speed with it?

    (Tee-hee!)

    I have a habit of getting distracted by real life and wandering away from my computer. It probably looks like I have turned to stone staring at my screen!

    You're right, it's probably me, although I'm clearly not the only one!

    Ha! It's me too. But I blame incogneato. I never thought about making myself "invisible" until (s)he posted this.

    I'll come out of the closet! And I probably look like I stare at my computer all day with Lorel

    I just figure they're newbies who haven't dipped a toe in the water yet. Future friends! smile

    Kriston,
    I hear what your saying, but for example, the "How did you find us" thread has 105,000 and some odd views. Only 39 replies. Who are these 105,000 people and why don't they put in their 2 cents.

    Dottie, I'm with you sister, it slightly freaks me out as well.

    I'll grant you, 105,000 is a lot of views. But those views include every time *anyone* has looked at it. So if I post once but read the comments 4 more times that day to see what others said, that's 5 views for just me.

    That's still a lot of anonymous viewings, but it should hopefully make you only 20% as freaked out as you were. wink
