Re: ADMIN: New Poll Question

Bruce, I was just busting your chops. ;-)

IMHO, it all subjective. It doesn't matter if time was spent on a
mailing list as opposed to the Web or as opposed to reading a book...
if you were able to successfully research the solution to a problem,
then it was time well spent. If you are wasing time on an e-mail like
the one I'm writing now (which you are reading, well, now), then it's
time not well spent. ;-)
