You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So maybe we shouldn't let people set their own refresh rate? Just set it at 5 minutes or something for everyone? Or something?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Or set the minimum at 5.

See, this is when I start thinking I might have a problem. Because I think, "HOW COULD ANYONE WAIT MORE THAN 5 MINUTES?!? THERE MIGHT BE NEW POSTS!!"

And then I get a grip and attempt to get a life.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've got mine set at three. Workable compromise, or is that still too much?

Thanks for all the fish.

So, hitting 'read new' is easier on bandwidth than setting it to automatically refresh?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I leave mine at 5 & occasionally push Read New to see what comes up.

Yes, unless you do it more often than once a minute, in which case it isn't.

I'm a five-minute-minimum voter myself.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can we split the difference, have it be 3?

(Signed, set to 1 minute refresh, still hits F5, hates read new, as it confuses small brained mammalself)


John H - Nov 11, 2002 7:06:15 pm PST #1407 of 10000

How come splitting the difference = 3?

1 2 3 4 5

Sorta.

And five seems long to my hyperself, but 3 is a number I can deal with with less fidgeting.
