    Will Hill: wow thanx!!! the only thing is, is that like i told you when you became my sponsor that my other addiction before this addiction was a lot worse of an addiction!!! i really feel that if i stopped the cr i would revert back to the other addiction-one that as a member of klal yisroel i’m not proud of!!! i’m 100% serious here, i’m not kidding!!! you see my dilema here!!!

    The trick to kicking this addiction is simple. Log out. As long as you do not post, the threads will become less and less interesting to you. After a while you won’t even come on to read.

    hey surprisingly this place does get kind of addictive

    moish01 – do you want to post a D’var Torah next week? Which night can I sign you up for? YW Moderator-72

    I was wondering whether or not you’d approve my post. I guess it wouldn’t be good for business, right?

    you’re kidding. what’s this weeks parsha anyway? i have no idea.

    I am signing you up for Thursday. It gives you a week to figure out what to post. It can be on Parsha Va’eira or anyother Torah thought that you want to share. thanks and have a pleasant Shabbos. YW Moderator-72

    moderator72- you asked a QUESTION:

    “moish01 – do you want to post a D’var Torah next week? Which night can I sign you up for? YW Moderator-72”

    i answered: NO!

    you answered you’re kidding. what’s this weeks parsha anyway? i have no idea. which is not: yes or NO – Don’t sweat it. If you want to, fine and if not, no problem.

    Moish, I believe you are perfectly capable. If you need any guidance to get you started, have Mod72 drop me an email. And yes, we do want to make sure we will have one on Thursday night and therefore, you will be seeing to it. Thank you in advance for accepting.

    i’ll be honest: never mind if i’m willing to do it or not. i don’t think i could – i haven’t opened a sefer in over a year. embarrassing as it is, the girls on here could probably do a better job than me.

    so let some of the others be honest also… they google a D’var Torah. I am sure you can find a nice little vort to share. Have a good Shabbos. YW Moderator-72

    you mean i don’t even have it read it first? sounds a bit like cheating to me (and that’s one thing i would never do) but ok, i guess i’ll take care of it, but if i can’t i’ll let you know.

    and this is a one time deal.

    DEAL! YW Moderator-72

    I used to think it was addictive, but now that most of the conversation’s in the coffee room, not so much so. I find it much slower than the comments to an article, or the mailbag. You have to click, go on to the right page, etc. instead of just scrolling down. Whole thing’s a hassle and I do have a life.

    yes it is very adddicting. I found about this site, because I wanted to find about a place where I can find a kosher source for the news. Then I stumbled into the CR.

    It really helps curb the addiction when nooone moderates for a couple of hours. Then there’s nothing new to read. Thanks mods, Iguess you had a wedding tonight.

    Perhaps the moderators could restrict each user to 2-3 postings a day, that should ensure people use CR appropriately.
