I find this immensely useful.. in two ways - first off, I can always use a couple of minutes spare... but in my case, I can be posting stuff several hours before I even got up!
The benefit there is that I can console myself with the fact that I haven't been wasting time browsing in the Mudcat when I should have been working.

I say, "Keep it up!" .. we need more of this creative timekeeping..

Cheers
