Automatic Signout

[Bilbo]

It used to be that when I would get tossed off (English pun intended) by aol that I could decide to stay off and when I came back a few hours later I would have been checked out of the message center. Automatically, I'm guessing. Now, when I come back a few hours later, I'm still checked in. (Of course, I may be coming back quicker than I used to without really realizing it.)

This will be academic, a moot question for me in a couple of months, I hope. As soon as Maverick and I get moved we hope to get "one of those accesses where your're checked in all the time and everything moves faster." I know it has a two word name but I dont' remember it. However, I always think that, statistically, whenever I say anything on here, there are probably nine lurkers who've been thinking it but hadn't wanted to say it themselves. Tip of the iceberg, ya know?

The system will "Toss you off" }( after three hours. I think you was comming faster that you thought you was. :9

I'd say that for every person that posts we have 10 lurkers, but it changes dramatically over time.
