Try this analogy instead.............A normal post takes 5 to 10 mins to compile if you are intelligent and don't need spell check (like I do, lol) try now multiplying 7.5 mins by 20,000 posts. It means you have spent over 150,000 mins on your laptop. That is 2,500 hrs, which is 208 days given a 12 hr waken day. That my son puts your life and calculations into a bigger perspective and shows how addicted you are.

Now do you really want to piss up my back, I will loose you with plain science and rhetoric, better you quit now.

Firstly I'd need you to define a 'life', because I'm afraid that will vary from person to person, it's a very open ended and subjective question. What defines 'having a life'? Because what it means to you will be very different to somebody else, who are to define what a 'life' is and what you must do in that 'life' for it to be worthwhile? Am I missing something here, are you God? Are you the creator of all life? Do you define what is a 'life' and what isn't? I know you think you're special but come on now mate.

Based on the facts that I post every day? Erm, it's called an average daily posting rate, love. There's actually one of those on your profile if you bothered to look. And I even pointed out that a lot of those days throughout the five years I won't have posted at all and some very little, it fluctuates depending on different circumstances. Not that it's at all important of course.

208 days in a five year period? I'd say that's pretty good going, actually. Do some research into internet usage amongst teenagers and you'll find it's a lot higher than the averages you've just given me, and that's using the internet as a whole.

And I'll 'lose you' with plain philosophy and requiring you to define what a 'life' actually is, because that's a question that doesn't have a definitive answer, which renders your point completely null and void. So yeah, never mind me, if I were you I'd quit now.

I also notice you completely avoided my points about Chuff's average being much higher. Are you going to insult her and tell her she doesn't have a life? After all, she nearly has as many posts as me and she's been here two years less than I have. What about the people with 60k posts? Some of whom are moderators, are you going to insult them in the same way you have me and other members with similar post counts? Or alternatively, are you just going to admit that you resort to picking at people's post counts and the now age old 'your best friend is your laptop' retorts because you have no other way of responding to the points presented to you? You may think it's a wonderful diversion tactic and wins you debates but really it just shows up the lack of validity the points you make have.
