I origionally posted my posting problem 'problem post' during the problem post posting-frenzy of september this year.

Most of us could spend all day surfing the gassing lanes, but my 'problem' is I cant do it any more.

The problem is time. If you're employed, forums are a fantastic way to spend your employers time :yes: but when you earn your own moolah it actually does cost a bloody fortune to sit enjoying PH all day :irked:

Ive decided to turn over a new leaf, and spend far less time on PH :( and dedicate my days to working instead.

Sounds awfully mellodramatic :hehe: but its a very difficult choice to make and actually stick to; Im sure there are other phers who could transform their lives financially in a massive way by giving up their favourite passtime, and putting in another 3 hours of work each day.

:sigh: :bollocks: :itmustbedone:

Wotcha nerv! You broke free, for a while (then came back)

In the old days, we'd post and post, and post some more. Life seemed complete. We were the happiest PHers on all the high forums Sigh... i just cant do it anymore. My goose is cooked, yours is cold turkey... Forums are a trap for business owners Praps we should start up a rolling road, Vixpy seems to have all the time in the world for PH

Of course not...well yeh, ok, I am

But seriously, don't do it, think of everything you'll miss on here. Next you'll start eating lentils and supporting the government!

Won't someone think of the children???

Im earning X, and could earn X+Y; Y is not worth the enjoyment a forum brings, but its impossible to break away (the Z factor). Without a mathatician, I could be stuck in cyberspace forever

A large number of my customers are PH'ers - hence not spending time on PH would be neglecting my customer base......... that's how I justify it anyway

X+Y=E (E=earnings)
X+PH=F (F=fun)
Y>F
X+Y-PH=Very boring lentilist

Hope that helps
