#13Ah, it seems you're suffering from a cognitive bias. ;) Some people on HN do not fit your self-reflected view of useful, busy and productive. Reading continuously is a good way to keep the mind sharp and moving even when the body can't do much.

I actually happy to be your janitor.
Thank you for cleaning up.

#16I don't have one typical visit. Of an evening if I have gotten a lot done, I might spend an hour looking at articles and links (Not every night.)

I would say 0 - 3 times a day, I find myself waiting in line or on hold or something and check for anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes on my phone.
