It does help (a little). I have two online exercise partners and we check up on each other periodically to make sure we're sticking to our programs :)
BTW, 'funkle' means you have five or more posts in a row without someone else commenting. Unless you're spamming. And "Mini-moot" is the official term for a local gathering of two or more Holers.
Thanks! Being a newbie I don't know these things :) What's "spamming" mean in this context, then? Also, I was just going to ask, what's Doomsday?--I see people talking about that a lot.
