I'm thinking the groups meet in a chatroom in Cyberspace . . . which is why they never really work.
Hey, I should invent the FR patchyou know, like a thread you can read on a Blackberry, but different. Then I can get independantly wealthy and FReep all day!
I finally have my mission statement!
No. A cyberspace meeting wouldn't work. : )
Believe it or not, Internet proscratination is a big problem w/grad students/professors. So much of our work is done online that it is easy to 'slip' and wind up on FR instead of that academic journal you logged on to read.
Plus, w/always on broadband, even if you aren't working online, that evil Internet is just a click away. There are whole threads on academic message boards devoted to how not to waste time online. I probably would have finished my dissertation proposal a month earlier if it hadn't been for FR!
I should invent the FR patch
I thought you meant a FR 'patch" used for addictions, ie. nicotine!! LOL
