...but it is funny.

When I post the Meme polls on Mondays, I have notice that within only a very few minutes there are something like 35+ views and maybe 1 vote (usually none) and no comments or RECs. I get the impression that our usual members here in A&A don't start voting/posting till after they have shuffled in with their bunny slippers and have had their morning coffee (yeah I know, eastern time zone centric).

I noticed this early when I went back to make an edit once and was curious to track the phenomenon in later postings.

It feels like we are being watched on every post we make (paranoid much?), and they (the usual suspect 'theys') are just waiting to alert on anything that might be the slightest bit offensive (case in point with Hoppy's post).
