Hi Roger, I can definitely control the time I spend at Mudcat, it never exceeds 24 hours a day (even on those days when they insert a second to adjust time to earth rotation), it's never more than 31 days a month, and never more than 366 days a year. What do you mean with negative consequences? I definitely like my rectangular (monitor-shaped) eyes, and I need the trembling of my hands if I am offline to remember me to get online again! Since a few years I don't have to argue anymore with any people as I locked myself into my computer-room - the only people allowed in are from various food-delivery services, so I got no social problems due to mudcatting And I don't use mudcat compulsively, I use it permanently and consequently.
