Author Topic: How long do you spend on posting? Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-14-2003 08:11 AM                        Since I create all of my jokes from scratch and I am a terrible speller, and I drink a lot of martini's whenever I Post. I spend about 48 hours a day posting. Now, if anyone one of you believe me. Come to New York and see the Bridge I will sell to you instead of Poe Pedifer.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Other times I've written up a post, and then said "the hell with it" and not posted it at all. That usually happens when I go off on a rant about something...often it makes me feel better just to type it out, whether it actually hits the site or not.  |  IP: Logged Don E.

Good question though.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-14-2003 02:33 PM                     Averages 10-15 minutes. I have modem set to hang up the phone after 10 minutes of inactivity. (Prevents the phone from being tied up all night by accident.) About 3/4 of the time I get it in under that time limit.  |  IP: Logged Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 02-15-2003 12:09 AM                    I just spent about 10 minutes writing about my thoughts on the war, but I spend most of the time reading.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-15-2003 02:52 AM                       My style is somewhere between Adam's and Paul's. I have taken as long as an hour, editing for clarity and brevity. Sometimes it doesn't work, however, as I'll come back a day later and find that I didn't make it clear enough and it was misconstrued. As I've found with editing trailers, there is a point of diminishing returns and any further changes only muddy the result. You have to know when to lock it up.  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

A student had inquired over the expected length of some written assignment, to which the reply was: 'Think of it like a mini-skirt. Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting.'  |  IP: Logged
