I think it's a bit of both - I have a couple of 3D situations that have a lot in common with interaction on the MudCat - and the same seems to apply to them. I think what happens is that there is an intensity of experience for many of us here on the cat - and that tends to make it seem as if we've "been here" longer.I know there have been several situations where I SWEAR that weeks went by between updates on my screen - but in reality everything occured over a few days.
