Whose time was wasted? Yours, perhaps, but primarily because you spent extra time posting. Mine, perhaps, because I now have something to reply to (also caused by you).

How about the time of all the other folks that posted? Clearly not. It's funny. An inside joke. And anyone who has been here awhile knows that the "Hilton Profile Update" posts are just that - a joke.

Do inside jokes waste your time? If you're just trolling for the next Goldpoints/Valuemags promo then possibly. If, on the other hand, you're also participating in a community .. then I think they are very much a part of that community.

Enough kvetching... time to try to update my Hilton Profile again just in case there's a glitch and don't catch that I've already done it twice...

infinitive, d*** it, I split it so that it will stay split."
- Raymond Chandler, to the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, 1947
