Wow, that thread is so accurate xD Lots of fear that the government is watching me, but also a vast, almost completely useless bank of knowledge about anything and everything. On the bright side, I always have talking points at dinner parties >> [i]"Hey, did you guys know fast food existed in the Middle Ages?"[/i] Okay! I kind of got that vibe from you, actually. It's just more of a habit on my part to let my partners know when to expect me to write back, since I usually post daily ^^ If I know that I might not be able to keep up my typical speed, I always try to warn them in advance and/or give a time that they should expect to hear back from me. It's less of a worry that you'd drop out and more of an integrity thing, I think. Also motivation deadlines help me not to get distracted for too long if I don't have a good reason to be xD
