Usenet == crack

<davorg>Usenet is bad, m'kay?</davorg>

I stopped reading because I was spending three hours a day on it... then at one point, I saw a mention of something in a newsgroup and had a look for it, and a couple of weeks later, I'm back nearly to a full load.

I don't have much time during the week so I catch up on the week-end, rather than spending time with Stella.

And I'm not even reading everything that's interesting! For an info-junkie, Usenet is like crack.

Maybe it's time for another abstention period... but that'll be hard. Imagining what I'm missing... urg.

I've pretty much given up on Slashdot and the Heise Newsticker... thank goodness, or my days would be even shorter.

But now LJ fills a fair chunk of the day that wasn't there previously, that's true.

(The German was comprehensible, but English is fine for me, too; I'm bilingual so pick whichever one you want.)
