Who has the most posts at apple insider?



Also are people on these boards half addicted, i mean i can not come and check them out, but i really want to, i check up on them very often. One because i love reading about apple, second is, if you miss a day or something, its a lot of information to catch up on



Anyone else like this?

    If I'm at the computer I'll keep an eye on AI but when I'm a way I don't care.

    I have succeeded of steering clear of AI for two weeks once, but then... I caved in. For me, it takes the form that once I go to AI, I have a hard time leaving. I keep on reading posts that I don't even care about, just too ... I don't know, to leave.

    it is a bit of an addiction for me.



    the summer was great though... being away and everything I maybe posted a handful of times despite having full internet access wired and unwired.... just didn't need to check or even had the desire to.



    but now I'm getting stuck in the Ai rut.... gotta get out!

    It's an addiction to me, but not as much as it used to be. AI's still usually the first thing I go to when I get home but I don't feel I absolutely have to check out AI like I used to.

    I'm new to the AI forum but I've spent the past week on here going through nearly every post that looks as if it might be of interest. I have a few thousand to go :eek: but I am slowly getting there and getting to know you all too. :cool:



    I wouldn't say I'm addicted as of yet. I think I will consume as much info on here as possible and then come back once in a while over the next few months until I actually make the switch to a Mac. I am currently a PC user and hating every minute of it.



    Once I have a Mac sitting in front of me at home though, I'm sure this forum will be a big part of my PowerMac addiction. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    I suspect that my post rate would be quite a bit lower if i)it wasn't winter and ii)I'd actually got a "real" job instead of doing further study ...

    I was an addict, but I've mellowed as of late. My moderating duties keep me a little busy, though, plus the work on the future site of AI and annoying things like "real life" get in the way of my regular postings.

    Not an addiction, but I do get "cravings" every so often.

    Sometimes I can go for a week or so without even looking in, other times I just lurk.

    Then I will check in every day if Im in the mood.

    I usually only post when I think I can add something beneficial or to reply directly.



    Sorry guys, but there has been a lot of shite posted here this past few months <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> , but things have been looking up recently

    I am probably the regular member with the least posts. I visit more than once a day since the re-openning of AI about a year ago and I have less than 200 posts. I just don't have anything interesting to say most of the time.

    That hasn't stopped the rest of us, this being a case in point. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

    Yeah I kind of post here in spurts...well not spurts, more like sick spasms. I probably need some pills or something.



    A few days ago I posted nearly eighty times, yesterday a mere two.
