Did you notice that when you're reading a thread here, up by the title, there's a line that tells you how many times the thread has been read?

I keep taking it as an instructional part of the title, like it's advice.  As if I should read the post four times for maximum effect.  I actually found myself re-reading a post earlier, looking for whatever I'd missed the first time around that required a second look.

Read.  Rinse.  Repeat.

Lol. That actually never occurred to me. So what would one do when it says "Read 135 times"? We'd never leave this board! Which is not necessarily a bad thing of course...

Leave the board?  I counted, I went to the board 5 times today while I was at work!  And I stayed altogether for about 2 hours!!!  While I was at work!

If I get fired, I'll blame it on someone here.  Then again, I'm so caught up that I know I'll be bored on Monday, so I hope my clients are gonna wake up... or not, since I leave on the 14th lol.  Whee!
