[CAUT] Managing "on-line" time

[Jim Busby]

Good points Alan.

I too don't want to spend the time to read each pianotech post, so once a month or so I read the archives. Generally, here's how I do it.

1. Anything on a topic I don't care about gets deleted w/o being read.
2. Anything Ron Nossaman writes, I read. (And Del, and a few others...)
3. On a topic I like I generally read comments from those I trust first
4. After a while, when the topic seems to be beaten to death, I go on to the next topic.

Managing my time "on line" has been an eye opener. It's estimated that we (Americans)waste 2 hours per day on this and other "stuff". I generally clock out of work to answer/read mail if it's longer than about 15 miinutes.

Well, I don't know about politics, but what is incredible to me is that
there are two, somewhat redundant, randomly organized, indecipherably
threaded lists dealing with piano technology. Historically understandable
though the situation be, it is nonetheless a bad way to organize our
collective thinking.
