I thought it would be interesting to see how often a week people view the site and how often they post?

I myself tend to check the site daily

I check the site daily but only post when I'm in the mood or especially compelled by what I'm reading. Usually what I have to say has already been covered by someone else.

I check about 3-4 times a day. Once when I get to work, at lunch, when I get back to the office, and at home depending on what I'm doing.

I check in quite often.

If I spot a PC that is connected to the net at the job I will check in then too.

3 or 4 times a day. I'm hooked. Post when I have something I feel I can contribute.

I love this site! I check in everyday.

Unfortunately, I rarely ever have anything to contribute though.

I check it often when I can. It's been a great resource of information. It also can give a few laughs sometimes to break the monotony
I count it a "blessing" that I came upon this site. It's helped me many times.
I must say that I don't post much, because I'm usually pretty tired after working, etc., but appreciate the "expertise" I find here. Thanks to all that will take the time to share their knowledge with others. It would be a better world, if all could concentrate on helping others, instead of thinking about only themselves all the time Helping, instead of hurting, right?
Thanks again to all..... Steve

Since the webmaster probably has the ability to check, I will admit to usually look at this site 1-5 or 6 times a day, depending on the day and if there is a particular topic I see is being covered that I'm interested in.

Most days I check in 5 or 6 times at least.

GA76Apprentice, don't cut yourself short, in any given post (your's included) whether it is a question or an answer, there can be, and most likely is, something educational to someone.

At least once a day in the evening, and sometimes up to 5 or 6 times if I'm working at home that day.

I'll often check first thing with a cup of coffee, then check back two or three times when I need a break from other work during the day, sometimes just to browse, sometimes reading and posting in a couple of different areas each visit.

I usually check in at least once a day. I don't post as much as I used to.I've found that I can learn more by reading and doing a search here and there than by jabbering.

I learn something here most every day.

Russell

I check several times a day. I don't post nearly as much as I used to a few years ago though. Mostly because of a lack of time. I also don't read every thread like I used to.

i get on usually everyday sometimes everyother day but rarely post .LOTS OF GOOD INFO ON THIS SITE .thanks guys

I'm an ecnoholic.

Thanks to the people who make this possible.

I work in a small shop and it gets a little lonely. By the way, I'm sorry if my bad day carrys over to here. If I ever have a good day, I promise I will bring it along.

TOO MUCH! I set the forum as my home page. So I might be a 10 or more guy too sometimes. I'll check in, then tear into other projects that I do. I have two web, wait three pages of my own, that I was spending too much time on. Authoring and updating.... Lot's O' comp time.... Also, do alot of other reasearch in trade related issues. And decided to take a little break from them, and hang out on ECN for while. Started to really like the forum and stuck around....

I was a several times a day guy. Been too busy for a while to keep up that pace. It's more like a few times a week now.

I generally check 3-5 times a day.

I've been really busy as of late, and haven't been able to come around as often as I'd like. (Matter of fact 4:10 AM, & I'm off to work again!)

After checking my profile, I seem to have posted about 1-1/2 times a day since joining in.

What's a "unique visitor" ???

It depends on what is going on at the time. I just got back from the IAEI Western Section meeting and am reviewing books for Delmar. My ability to check in right now is severely restricted. At other times, I may be able to check in two or three times a day.

I try to stop by atleast once a week.
There's just too much $$$$$ to be had out there! I can't sit around on the 'puter all day. This is an interesting site and I'm glad it's here.

Basically, the "Unique Visitor" count is how many different people the tracking software feels came that day as determined by IP address and/or cookie.

I spend lots of time here every day, and can access the ECN links using wireless equipment I carry in my pocket.

I can read and reply to any messages in the area I have been involved in on ECN for a while.

I am an Internet Addict!

I try to get to visit here at least once or twice a week. Sometimes I can make it 3-4 times and sometimes I am gone for a weekor two. (Joe T. and John know that already) It all depends on my week. Sometimes I have Zoning Board, Soccer, Cub Scouts, back to school, etc. and sometimes I have nothing. I love this board, I have been a big fan of this board, and I have spoken out several times how well this board will behave thenselves and not flame one another. I don't need (or want) to go to boards where everyone will jump all over you for a statement that you make. (Be it right or wrong.) I have been on boards where someone will ask you ("What does the green wire do?") and I don't go to those boards anymore. I have been "hanging" with Joe T. for more than 100 years now and I still feel that I can learn something new every day. If I don't learn something new everyday, then I ain't paying attention!

Amen

I think you should ask my wife she knows exactly how many hours I spend here , she hates the click of the keyboard - I should get a 'quiet' keyboard LOL.

I totally agree with Harold!!!

I have seen Joe T in the back of the meetings with his keyboard and antenna typing away

When I first got into this trade, I was used to hearing "you don't need to know that" - now I can come here to get a valued answer.
Thanks to all.

Pierre

Well there's a question!.
I usually check in here when I first get up in the morning.
And if I can't sleep during the night, I've also been known to log on to ECN as well.
Depending upon what the workload is like at work, I also log on after work.
Being from over here in NZ, I'm virtually assured of there being a new post or two at most times of the day here.

Not as often as I want to,...only (1) 'puter in the house,and by the time I finally have a spare few minutes to go online,..the other half wants to use it,..it's not fair,..gonna get me a lap-top soon....I check posts in the morning,before work,..and reply if there's time..
Russ

Pierre that is all to familiar, I have gotten the same message from my wife. LOL

This keyboard is silent.



CompUSA has them.

Bob
But were both still here

Every 3 or 4 days.

Pierre:


Amen!!!

BTW, I am down to once a week - except the last two weeks, have been here very often.

I'm visiting usually a couple times a day, usually in the morning and at lunch time. I also visit from where I teach an estimating class, and often use pics from the violation and for discussion forums in my classes.
