The addiction to Charcha has been agreed by many. I guess this could serve as eye opener on how much time is being spent on the site. Not only when you are on the site but the time you spend to put your thoughts together for a response and time that you spend thinking about same after the response.
Although it benefits us as well as others but is this being done at a cost of time that could have been well spent with family, or with work?
on an average I spend 30 minutes related to a topic. and averate 1-2 hours a day on site. Just wondering about other fellows.
(Of course moderators and admins excused )

If you get joy out of doing something and (hopefully) help others while doing it I don't consider it a waste of time. CD is an important source of information and support to many. I have no regrets with the time I spend on this site.
Take care,
