How many hours do you spend at unix.com a week ?

This includes the time you spend reading threads, answering them and all the other activities at unix.com on an average for a week.

This poll is about your time with unix.com

Poll and if possible just drop a short note about which part of the day you spend the most !!!

I hope this is yet another cool poll !

I've not read or posted here for a loooong time since the last month, when I've received a mail from mods saying "We have not seen you for a while, please stop by and contribute!". So I thinked: why not

When I registered I really was a noob in the unix world and didn't have any skill for actively contributing in the forums, now I'm surely not a guru but with time I've learnt many many interesting things and I can defend myself

Now I'm spending about 2 hours a day reading forums and trying to help. I hope to continue partecipating the discussions, especially now that at work we have a bit of dead time... But unfortunately I think this situation is going to change quickly!

I received an email about not visiting the site for awhile. I've been too darn busy lately but I thought I'd drop by tonight and see what's new on unix.com.

Mostly I peruse the site at home and at nighttime (no time during the day)...maybe an hour or so. I noticed the traffic levels (via compete) have increased since my last visit - good! I referred a couple admins to the site.

We appreciate that. "Word of mouth" is always the best form of advertising.

Yes, it's the only form of advertising that is really "sticky."
