Re. "Not lurking ... hanging"

Lurking - intensive, 24/7 activity, "keep up" (read every post, scrutinize the significant, diligently pursue links, etc.) with 15 to 25 threads and scan aperiodically a number of others - and that's just SI.

Burns one out, and tough on relationships, hence episodes - periods of market activity separated by breaks with no market involvement. Latest episode - mid-June through Tuesday. No more lurking this year - no need (and that's without Q - with Q ... well <VBG>). Just hanging around watching Softie.

aren't officially hanging until you enable private messaging

Certainly consistent with observations, enticing but potentially distracting. Do you "mess" with what works and works "very, very" well? Might be fun? Just how much more fun is possible? As S.O. (aside - why did Tennessee Williams call the first year of marriage a "Period of Adjustment". After decades, I believe he was in the right part of the dictionary but the "adjusting" isn't periodic, its perpetual.) says (re. Q)

"It's like winning the lottery ... EVERY DAY!"

Not lurking ... hanging (around for a "little while")
