in reply to Is it harmful to spend too long on PerlMonks?

Whoa! I always thought the question was whether it would be harmful to the human user, not the PM server itself...

Give it some time, jvector. You'll be asking if you're harming yourself soon enough ;-)

    Thank you repellent, I am sure you are right...

    No, initially it was a purely altruistic question! The /other/ question, whether 'too much PM' is harmful to the user, is something else again... (I have a suspicion that my "better half" might have something to contribute here)

      Ahh, yes..the "better half" is usually most involved and cued in right at the mention of that question (is spending too much time on PM affecting me). i. e. " Well maybe if you weren't on Perl Monks all night you could've done blahblah..." or "Oh, Perl Monks again...How are the boys..." or "Maybe if you spent less time on Perl Monks and more time on blahdeblah....".
