I am. I've got to tell you, trying not to post at MR is like fighting an addiction. I'm not trying to stop. I'm only aiming to "cut down."
I find that posting here is a vicious cycle: If I read a thread and reply, I always want to find out what people say after my post. If I come back to MR after a few hours, I remember every thread I posted in the last time I was here, so I definitely check those threads the next time I come here. In fact, while I'm doing other things and living my day (eg: shopping, reading a scientific journal, taking a dump, both), sometimes I wonder whether people have posted after my reply in a particular interesting thread, and I'll be dying to find out what was said!!
After checking these threads for responses and replying if necessary, I'll check out some 2 or 3 new threads, and reply if I want. If I reply, I'll check the thread later, so now I have accumulated MORE threads to check the next time I come here!!
The number of threads I need to check only drops when threads die, and if no new threads seem interesting.
Right now, I haven't been involved in many threads, so when I come here, I don't have many threads to check. That's how I'm cutting back....by only being involved in a very limited number of conversations. I'm not involved in any Photography threads, no Buying Advice threads, etc. I check a few threads in Community, and that's all. I find that this is the only way I can do it.
Funny thing is that by starting this thread, I now have a thread that I wlll come to MR specifically to read. I'll even be thinking about it while I study.
