I plead guilty to all of the charges discussed above. I've never found anyone else "online.pl", though. I had thought that it only showed what you were doing yourself (and wondered slightly at the uselessness of such information! but I am very used to useless info coming from computers, so took it as normal!)

As to stopping a post on realising it is drivel - well, I have done so, but not half as often as I should, I fear

And I have no problems about being the only one logged on. I suppose because e-mail is a normal means of conversation for me - I even use it to talk to the girl whose desk is just the other side of the room from me: for good reasons, mind you! So sending posts when I know it will be a while before anyone responds doesn't worry me.
