If he were in some other timezone, or awake at 2am, it would make sense
that a bunch of the latest posts would all be from him.
I leave my newsreader running while I do other things, coming back to it
throughout the day. What if I made one post at 10pm, and another at 6am.
Would you think I spent 8 hours "in" this newsgroup? What does "in" mean
in this context?
Why would it matter to you? John is certainly prolific in his posts, but I
don't see how it matters what the time or time span is.
Your first post on this shows up as Fri, 16 Dec 2005 03:17:50 in my
newsreader, and this one at Fri, 16 Dec 2005 16:17:39. What were you doing
in this newsgroup at 3am, and still here almost exactly thirteen hours
later?

It means that I checked news at one point, then an hour later again, and
this newsgroup filled up with over a dozen posts--all from Navas, and
all within a half hour, and all in the middle of the night.

AW come on Elmo!
Your anti-Navas triads are getting old.
Lay off.
Kill-file, there's a thought. Wonder if it works!
