Vinny:

Your fiber analogy opens some interesting lines of inquiry:

1. If my posts are frequent and voluminous, how long until I have to worry about dehydration or electrolyte abnormalities?

2. On the other hand, is it healthy to go for more than 24 hours without posting, as long as my posts remain soft and painless?

3. If I suppress my urge to post long enough, will the urge go away? Is it healthy/safe to withhold my post, if I am busy with work/family responsibilities?
