Rachel, the receptionist at the department where I work, recommended AWAD in one of her regular "newsletters" to the department. I hooked up to it and read the daily word for a couple of weeks. I then, in a moment of boredom, turned to the board - the first one I had ever accessed - and read that every day for just over a week. I forget what I read that made me need to reply - I suppose I could check my first post and remind myself - but I subscribed and started to acquire this addiction (officially, of course, it's only an enthusiasm at the moment)
Since then, my work output has gone down dramatically. If I suddenly disappear from view, it's because they've sacked me and I haven't yet out my home computer on to the net
Like Jackie, I think this is a grand place - my stock of useless information has mutiplied enormously since joining, and I 'aven't 'ad sich a good laff since Gran'ma caught her apron in t'mangle.
Thanks to all of you!
