Dear fellow students on The Thing

Do you have NOTHING better to do than post incessantly on the course forum? The new block has just started, why are you already posting questions about the TMA? The essay isn't even due until February! STOP MAKING ME LOOK BAD!

Totally had this happen during the online bit of my VSO training - everyone else seemed to be getting into multi-tiered discussions, while I struggled to get my 2 - 3 postings in before each deadline (and in that case, the forum was actually REQUIRED). I think maybe some people just operate that way - if they're worried about something coming up, they want to talk and ask about it ad infinitum, incredibly early, because it makes them feel better.

Or they're trying to look smarter than they are. Either way.

I think they're a bunch of retired smart asses, who have nothing better to do than be smug online.
