Yep.

I've mentioned this before. At Hatrack certainly, and probably here as well.

Why?

Sooner or later, this forum is going to max out on hyperliteralness.

Is that supposed to be the opposite of "igteases"?

Sorry . . . I go into semi-lurker mode when grades get due . . . it's a last stop before full-lurk, when I don't even check Hatrack. During semi-lurk, I still check Hatrack but I don't check any other boards. Last year around this time, I had to quit all fora for a good month or so. This year, this quarter, things went much more smoothly, and I never had to go quite that far. :)

So, um, yeah. What was the question?

No reason. ;) I just thought it was cute. :P

Semi-lurking when grades are due . . . I should do that.  :whistling:  :innocent:
