600K seconds is 10,000 minutes.

10K minutes is 166.67 hours.

Now, I am a loudmouth but even so, I spend considerably more time reading than writing so let's say 166.67 represents only 1/4 of my time here.

166.67 * 4 = 666.67 hours

Work weeks are forty hours. For the lucky or the lazy, at least. And so....

666.67 / 40 = 16.67 weeks

Four full time months. That's nuthin. There are folks with more than 60K posts. This would be closer to a full time year. And this dovetails with my anecdotal observation that some folks seem to be actively participating in conversations on this site nearly all the time. Some are so reliably present here that I think the "full time year" estimation may grossly understate the actual amount of time spent. I'm not calling anyone out here, and not making judgments. Who am I to point a finger with 22K posts?

This is addictive behavior. Pelican. Various forums. The Internet.

Hm.

I have been here about as long as you have and my post count is embarrassingly low. I have enjoyed your posted over the years and remember you from "the beginning" LOL. Keep it up!
