Want something to do???
Posted by tatans on Thursday, January 13, 2005 10:11 PM
Just sitting here with nothing to do (it's -35c.) when I saw at the bottom of the forum: page 1 2 3 4 5 6 :last. so I pushed last, up came page 323, Sooooo-
I'm thinking, how long will it take me to read ALL those pages? Anyone have any idea?? I think the cold is affecting my brain. by the way, has anyone ever done this???

I've thought about, done some searching but that is a lot of info. Besides I have fun seeing all the new stuff everyone posts, and so much has changed recently with all new stuff coming that I want to know if the new is equal, better or worse than the old.

But if you think of a topic, search it, and yes it seems to be here somewhere. [:)]

Page 323? Is that the one I got lost on page 15, accidently went back to reading page 11, and never made it to page 16?

I can't even read all the ones on the active topics list that I want to!
There's just too much !! But I'm glad [:)] there is.

I tried it last month (December) when on Christmas vacation. After one hour I had only read 4 pages and that was just the topics I was interested in. To read it all would take all day and then some. Good luck to you and all who attempt this marvelous feat because you will be very, very tired of reading.
P.S. It was fun though.

I have bounced to the back pages a couple of times. Some really neat stuff, and a few that never got a response! I routinely go back 15 - 20 pages to find topics that I wrote on a couple of weeks ago, mostly to see if there was a followup to my comments that I inadvertantly missed. Some topics get 4-8 responses and that's it, no more. Others seem to run forever.

When I first started reading this forum, I would read the current topics of the day and then jump back to the end and read those topics that interested me. It took me a couple of months to get through all of them. Again, that was just reading the topics that interested me.

not done that yet in this area of the forum but i did read all the pages in the layout forum only took me about 7 hours for about 75-76 pages when i did it. Not that bored yet to sit down and do it to 300 + pages with some topics that have over 100 pages to them. but I have skimmed through them all but not read all them.

Hello,

Takes exactly one hundred fifty seven hours, thirteen minutes, twenty eight seconds.

Your results may vary.
