Or do you just rep whoever you want to and enjoy whatever reps you get? A little of both. I may forget who I've repped. I try to rep back usually and can lose track of
when the rep I received was already an exchange, so I probably over rep because I'm just
stupidly friendly like a tail wagging dog.

Or do you just rep whoever you want to and enjoy whatever reps you get?Outside of Q&A, I rep only when I like posts. With Q&A I just dig in once in awhile to try and rep everyone. Because it's a fun thread and I know that many are generous with reps for me.[/b]
“If I have one technology tip of the day, it's this: No matter how good the video on YouTube is, don't read the comments, just don't, because it will make you hate all humans.” Well, I don't usually. I rarely comment in them, so I'm not interested in the childish comments.

Just For Fun: How do you handle repping? Do you keep track of who has repped you so you can rep them back? Or do you just rep whoever you want to and enjoy whatever reps you get?
pretty much rep whoever I want and appreciate the reps I get. I like the comments left sometimes.
Good morning all from a dull, cloudy England. Dawn has just arrived, and it's quite misty out there.
I was last on an airplane a couple of weeks ago returning from Spain. I will be on another one this coming Thursday returning to Spain for Christmas. It's a hard life, but someone has to do it I guess.......
I don't enjoy flying, but it's something that has to be done if I want to go places. I'm not keen on the take off, and the landing. I always feel that's when the plane is most vulnerable.
My favourite ethnic cuisine would be Chinese I think. I don't eat a lot of it, but like it on occasion. We just buy it frozen, and microwave it........
I have the occasional repping frenzy, then don't indulge at all for a while. I am due one any time now!!
Today’s Questions When were you last on an airplane? About a week ago.
Where did you go? Zürich, Switzerland
Do you enjoy flying, dread it or something in between? I enjoy going places, do I enjoy being on a plane for more that a couple of hours? I enjoy the end result. Focus on the destination. "A mile of highway will take you a mile, but a mile of runway will take you anywhere."

Do you enjoy flying, dread it or something in between?
[ these days, hate it, it's not even worth the hassle and expense. if the highways, road or rails don't go there then it's not worth worth bothering going to. strictly IMHO. also as a hacker it's unnerving being locked inside a machine that you have zero control over, miles above the ground, where the slightest fault can instantly become a disaster. ]
