In reply to the discussion: How is it possible for a single DU'er to be posting virtually 24/7? [View all]ffr
(22,671 posts)156. I'm thinking not, each is someone actually typing opinions
I only checked up on one. They finally did take a break this afternoon, after 69 counted recommends and about half as many brief posts over a 15 hour marathon on here. Can't seem actual times beyond midnight last night. Their pace quickened during the AM hours, then tapered off and stopped this afternoon.
So maybe some of them are like those who posted on here about their strange hours and it's just a lot of really passionate individual people. That or they're laying low because they saw this thread and didn't want to make it any more obvious than it already was.
