I have the index bookmarked, and the look for the bright green radio button that denotes new posts have been made.

"Be always drunken. Nothing else matters: that is the only question. If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time weighing on your shoulders and crushing you to the earth, be drunken continually. Drunken with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtues, as you will. But be drunk.. ask what hour it is.. 'It is the hour to be drunken! Be drunken, if you would not be martyred slaves of Time; be drunken continually! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you will.' "

Great, now I have to explain. :)

To be honest it is a combination of dumb luck and looking at the date of the last post in each section. I go to the forum and run down the sections if there has been a post since the date/time group of my last visit I check out the new post.

This is what I do for the first time logging in every day.

Then after that for the rest of the day I do what Doug does.

"When the mob and the press and the whole WORLD tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the River of Truth and tell the whole WORLD:

'No, YOU move.'" - Captain America

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

I added that to the poll questions. I think everyone might have to vote over again.

I leave my computer on a work with this as my home page. When I hear someone scream in outrage I know someone posted something worth reading here. That happens about 6 times a day.
