Too many people read the testing area...:D (and I am one of them ;) ) and some of them post replies!!! :D :D

Why this amazing behaviour???

Sometines I read them, because I'm bored waiting my application finishes to compile :)
It spent 15-20 minutes compiling :o

Full compilation, it's a very big application.
So, in 20 minutes I need to read anything I can :D

I added one option more to the poll ;) Sometimes that really is the reason why I read the posts and skim thru the threads. OTOH, many threads here have been really interesting.

I must have been in coma as I read this thread :) I simply missed the part that said "testing area". I meant the General Discussion, of course. The posts in the testing area are not that interesting.

I'm answering this question as the creator of such popular testing area threads as Not Worth Reading (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=218820) and Cool Poll! Check it out! (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=218817)

I browse through this war-ridden zone to see what other people are thinking. I like to respond to threads and see how other people react. I can do anything I want here because it is the testing area, and I use it to test peoples psychologies on occasion ;)

Check out this thread: Quotes (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=214199), by Sam Hobbs.

I recommend viewing all the testing threads for your entertainment.

Option three should be changed to read:

because they are on drugs

The intended meaning of that option is "it's addictive." "on drugs" would have to be a 6th option.

[souldog]

I claim that you can not find it addictive unless your on drugs, hence option three should really be replaced with its cause

Not true... I'm sure that Xeon goes to the Testing Area every day and he's not - Oh, nevermind, I guess you're right. :D

[Doctor Luz]

Hey!!! I go every day to the testing area and I´m not on drugs...

But wait a moment... Now I remember I am slightly mad. :D
