he Stefan,
i can feel your PITA, what kept me alive (i rouded my work-hours-per-week counter by 16, it is a two digit decimal counter) where notifications about new posts to some old threads here, and Nova on the ICQ

[kudos out to AU]
so if in doubt, just "click" me for a short chat, i will almost allway be online in ICQ.
for the rest i'm shure you will manage real-life better if you take your time "off", it worked for me and BU is no place you can forget, nor you can abandon.
same is for RB, it will go on it's own, heck it's a grown up, well educated kid
Cheers Onno
