I will be the first to admit that I've developed an addiction to this web site! I look at it probably 3-4 times per day, more so on weekends! It is truly a great source of knowledge and information.
How many of you will admit to being so (or MORE so) addicted? C'mon, fess up!!
It's actually a compliment to all of you "out there" that this is such a great web site!

If I am to graduate from Coal College I must attend the classes. Sure a little side humor helps but the core of learning is essential when I have a 7000' Victorian Leakbox and HO just passed $4 and is heading north quickly. I am too old to freeze to death. Now, do I really need to be up at 5AM looking at a birds eye view of a Jeddo coal shovel?????? OK, it's an addiction.

if you leave the rock alone you will get the "black" back in your veins......
Yeah,
I'll admit that I'm addicted. I check my sight at least twice a day if not three or more. My wife and kids think I'm nuts. But yes, I thoroughly enjoy chatting and shooting the breeze with my new coal-burning friends. I also agree that there is a wealth of information here. I've already learned so much more than I ever knew before. I'm grateful to everyone for all the help and answers to my questions!
Good day to you all!

I read on the forum on my iphone and get email notifications of new posts in the EFM section.lsayre wrote:This site is my home page. I'm seriously addicted.
Addendum to what I already said:
I think this is probably as bad as my daughter texting all the time. Honestly, I could probably check this sight at least 4 times a day, and when I get home, this is one of the first things I do. I like the term "coalaholic". I'm right there, I think.
