How long do you spend on GN?

As long as it takes, and then a bit more. It can be addictive and I love it.

Three or for times a day if and when I'm bored. That can be a quick skim to see if there are any new threads, or to read and post on a thread. So maybe 2mins or maybe half an hour.
I'm permanantly logged in on my phone and one click takes me to the active page. The same witb FB.

I dip in and out but not as much as I used to. I'm getting a bit fed up with so many threads - even harmless ones, ending up in a ding-dong between the same three or four people.

It's all very well people saying, 'Don't go on those threads' but how do you know if and when they're going to pounce?

Yes, dip in and out like others.Leave comments on a few threads, or don’t log in, just read a few threads.
I go out a lot so don’t have the time to spend hours on it,
(Although in the evening can spend a long time on the iPad generally) emails, and doing jigsaw puzzle app in particular, while keeping an eye on tv.

Too long recently, I live alone and am unable to leave the house so my contact with the outside world , and I learn much too and am very fond of many posters.

Oldwoman I do what you do - dip in and out. It's my chief procrastination activity so I probably dip in too often.

I think there are people who will spend time on forums like this one as if they are chatting to a group of friends, in other words, keep it more or less on tap.

I'm way too impatient and have a "grasshopper mind" so I can't do that.

Far too long!! Actually, I log in and out a fair bit during the day but only for minutes at a time. If I'm busy I can miss almost a whole day or miss reading long threads.

I'm sure that for some people, GN is a life line.

Depends on the weather. One fine days hardly at all. On wet, cold, miserable days I spend too long and usually end up cross.
