i think calling them a diversion is as good as any other name.  i usually divert between whatever i'm doing on the pc at a given time. it breaks the time up lol.

i also agree that our first words often are a major part of a first impression depending on who's making the first impression about who. i must say, i've never had to write anything that needed to make a good impression but i have and am able to write much bettter than i appear to.  i think it's the rush factor and lack of typing skill that cocks up what i say. i'm much to lazy to spell check, i have been known to edit a typo  though.

thanks for seeing the lack of mailce. and for diverting me, it's way way i took your posts as well. as for electronics...i can bullshit with the best of them but not about electronics . now religion,  i'll take any side in a religious debate. ( diversion)..it's so forgiving when you cock up lol.
