Me? I’m wasting mine. As an example, I’ve just done a search on my own user name to see where I’ve been spending my time here with the SDMB. The search engine returned the following accusations on the first page:

MPSIMS: 10 counts  
General Questions: 1 count  
Great Debates: 3 counts  
IMHO: 3 counts  
The Pit: 2 counts  
ATMB: 1 count

Yes! I am guilty! Yes! I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Is that so wrong?

Where have you been?

And now I guess I should add one more for … where am I again?

Great. I’ve been here for less than a month and already my memory’s shot. 🙂 Guess I’d better stay out of Great Debates.
