Please tell me you are well underway.

I'm reminded of the old comment/joke from William Shatner to Trekkers to "get a life." I always thought those fans did have interesting and engaged lives, but the rap against online pastimes seems to be that certain hobbies or activities are somehow more worthwhile than others. To me, participating in discussion boards or other social media are just as valid recreational activities as softball, bridge clubs or model railroading.

Warren, I'm not sure if you consider me one of the people who posts a lot, but I do check here once or twice a day to see what's up. I have physical limitations due to cerebral palsy, if that makes you feel better about me not being in a bowling league or whatever.

Warren, I'm really not sure if you are genuinely interested in how people spend their time, or if you're being critical and taking a poke at Frequent Posters.
However I think Halibut has a great response:

I think it's a fine way to start your day.You get to see people that are awake the same time as your are.See who lost what,(putter) and find out how your day is going to be.Sometimes people just need to vent.I just like to find out how my friendly villagers are doing.I've have improved my golf game to something Stafford calls ?boggie? golf.I guess I'm doing better at golf than trying to learn to play guitar.Anyway it's all good and I owe it all to my friend Stafford.

Some people need to "let it be" and get on, with their own life. IMHO

GOD forbid some people would ever have a positive thing to say, about anything.

BTW - I have never been in jail.

To the original post did you ever think maybe some people are handicapped cant get out and this may be their world. You just never know.

........... and what about the widower/widow who is overnight plunged into a life on their own. This site could be a lifeline to them while they adjust. Someone told me recently "You will never know what loneliness is until you are left alone".
