We began to hear radio spots for what sounded like "Waterburger" [blame the local accent]. "What's a waterburger?" we asked. _________________________ Opinions are mine not my employer's, and should not be taken as legal advice.

Anonymous Unregistered	I have recently started to use this site and have found it helpful. What I don't understand is why the non-business posts (frivolity) get the most replies. I had posted a couple general procedure questions and got minimal replies. I know every bank does the items I had posted. I guess they spent their time replying to items like this.

As for frivolity - A lot of BOLers go online after hours. _________________________ Michelle M Opinions do not necessarily reflect those of my employer nor are they legal advice

Andy_Z 10K Club Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 27,752 On the Net	In some cases, what may look like a waste of time, is actually a change of pace, a release. This is often needed and leads to more of a community environment than a stuffy discussion of the finer points of 226.18(c)(i). As to responses to your question, you can always reply yourself with the word "bump" to bring it back up in case it was skipped because of time crunches or something else. Some questions just don't get as many answers because of the wording, the request being to general, etc. _________________________ AndyZ CRCM My opinions are not necessarily my employers.

Anonymous Unregistered	Another thing is that members typically know who the regulars are and may not flock to an anonymous post. Also, the substantive posts are typically answered within 1 or two posts. Do you really want 185 posts giving the same answer that post #2 gave???

Yes, frivolity posts get a lot of "press", but you will also find lengthy threads on banking "hot topics" like USA PATRIOT, BSA, etc. _________________________ Opinions expressed are solely my own.

I've noticed, on BOL and other forums I am a member of, that if you get one reply that is well thought out, clear, refers to relevant rules, regulations and previous experience, that few people will add more replies as everything has been said that needs to be said. I guess that it would be nice if at least a couple of people added "I agree". If I am the person who posts the last item on a thread then I usually assume that I must have said something (everything? ) right. _________________________ This is my opinion; it is not legal advice, nor the view of my employer, and it may change tomorrow.

I love the taste of them. We used to have competitions to see who could eat the most. I hit about 35 once. Didn't feel so great, but who would. I can't find them up here. I miss those days. _________________________ Beauty is only skin deep...but ugly goes all the way to the bone!

I used to think that too, until I realised that the intense pounding headache that I developed on Saturday evening and that grew worse through Sunday was caffeine withdrawal. I solved the problem first by drinking a cup of coffee on Saturday and Sunday (I had been an office-only coffee drinker). Then I cut down progressively - but it took a while to break the habit completely. I got down to a couple of cups a week, but still got the headaches if I tried to stop. In the end I went cold-turkey () - and suffered the headaches for two or three days. I had a coffee about a month back and still got the headaches next day. Grrrr! .... but I love a good coffee, it's almost worth the pain! _________________________ This is my opinion; it is not legal advice, nor the view of my employer, and it may change tomorrow.
