How many hours and how many post do you average a day on DU?
I spend about 4 hours a day on D.U.. It's where I get my news in fact. I don't waste my time with the right-wing controlled mainstream media. The alphabet channels seem to be campaigning for the rethugs anyway. I probably average about 4 to 5 posts a day. LOL, Does that make me normal? :freak:

1. Not telling!
I don't post a lot but spend far too much time here. I gotta stop it somehow. The DU jones is way worse than when I quit smoking.

3. *snort*
I spend maybe 4-6 hours a day.. and my wife complains.

I don't watch the RW-controlled media except for debates.

The day that the Fairness Doctrine is re-enacted is the day we jump for joy, as we watch MSRNC and Faux News get shut down for 1 million violations a MINUTE on Fairness Doctrine. Someone should make this a constitutional amendment so it will never be removed AGAIN.

5. That makes you sane.
I keep the computer on all day. I get back to it every chance I can, in between reading books to my toddler, painting with my toddler, dancing with my toddler, playing Barbie (ugh) writing ABCs, cooking, cleaning.....you get the idea. Every now and then toddler kicks me off the computer and goes to her sites instead. But, when she sees me on google she jumps up on my lap and demands monkeys and ducks....although she is finally adding monsters and sharks to her repertoire....heheh.

My spouse works in a newsroom so he's often working late depending on the news day.

7. OMG - uncountable
I'm a secretary. If I'm not secretary-ing something for the boss I figure what the hell, why not. Filing can get done anytime. I am the primary on the phone so its not like can really be away from my desk anyway.

Convincing?

12. too much
DU is always calling to me. Check LBN, any good editorials, discussions, environmental disasters, economic developments, and on and on.

Always check in the morning, before bed, here and there, a lot while at work. Too many hours a day. Sometimes my eyes hurt.

Usually have a few posts a day.

Somedays I tell myself that I'm giving up the computer for awhile. Going to spend the time doing something productive.

Then DU calls me again....

14. too damn many, I can tell you that...
But it's so easy to get hooked! But I have a life, and responsibilties! My wife would kill me if she knew...But, as far as that goes, DU is better than porn sites.

Isn't it?

16. I'd average 2 hours I think, about 15 posts
It depends on what else is going on, but this is my average most days.
