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.

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:
