... and for that matter, all Europeans. You live in more or less the same time zones as most of the lads*. You can get in two, maybe three e-mails in a day (if you have enough free time).
Whereas I, as a North American, am five-to-six hours behind Africa. That means that most of the mugus are sending their e-mails during my morning hours, when I'm not available. So when I write back, I usually have to wait for the next day for my reply.
"Ah", you say, "But patience is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait. Etcetera. It's no big deal if you have to wait a few more hours."
"Oh, yes it is", says I. "First of all, I've been having trouble falling asleep at night. The details of my latest ploy race across my brain, making me break out into fits of giggles and causing me to lose count of my sheep. I cannot possibly rest under such stimulating circumstances.
"Second, I usually do not have enough time to really do anything in the morning (unless I have nothing to do, in which case I am usually fast asleep). Whereas during the afternoon and night I often find myself with vast amounts of free time on my hands, and not much to do during those hours."
And thus, I sit here, twiddling my thumbs, checking 419eater every five minutes, and whining to all of you about my unfortunate schedule.
Goodnight.
*Thus far, I haven't seen any scams from a New World country. |

So how about me starting a thread "You lucky English native speakers"
The time zone issue means that I have to have the computer on during my lunch hour because this is the only time I am likely to meet American and Australian baiters in chat to discuss modalities.
Trouble is, lads have lunch hours, too and sometimes I simply forget to hide in chat.
(Wondering why South America does not, well, do that 419 thing, AFAIK...have never thought about that before.) |

Thanks!
Oh, wait, there's more in your message? Right...
Well, look at it this way. You can wake up and your inbox will be stuffed to overflowing with all the messages that have been sent in that 9am-2pm (GMT) timeslot, whereas we Euros stuck in GMT and thereabouts wake up and have no messages and face a trickle... a trickle!... of replies over the morning and early-afternoon hours. I can't go anywhere during the day without wondering if the barrister has sent me a form or an insult or something.
Given the choice, I'd rather have the deluge, sir. |

I'm nine hours behind Lagos, but that's okay with me. I like to wake up and have a pile of fresh mugu-mail. I usually can get a reply, or sometimes more, during my morning hours. The best thing is that I can make calls at 5PM here and know I'm waking my lad up at 2AM. So there are some advantages to being so many time zones away. |

kleindoofy- you mean there's, you know, civilized society that's not in the United States?
Juan Freizwidatt- Good point. I'm unlikely to ever phone a lad, since I'm trying to keep it low key enough that my parents don't know I'm baiting. But it's a delicious mental image. |

Chain Yanker,
Sounds like the lads are leading you around. Think of it this way, If you have to wait a day, then SO DO THEY. I am GMT -8 and I love it when a lad gets upset because I don't respond right away. I AM IN CHARGE and they will get an answer when I get around to it. Even if I got 2 or 3 a day from the same lad, I would only answer one.
Try this. If you want to have more replies in a day, start more baits.
It's that simple.
Have fun. |

Actually, my favorite middle-of-the-night calls to my lads are usually not to talk. I downloaded some very annoying wav files of screeching feedback noises. I load them up to repeat continuously, crank up the volume full blast, then put it on mute. Call the lad on speakerphone with the speaker right up to the microphone, wait for him to finally answer the phone with a drowsy, confused greeting, then unclick mute and let 'er rip. Wait half an hour for him to get back to sleep and do it again. Lather, rinse repeat. Then in the morning send an email slapping him over his crappy phone service. This is a good way to get lads to stop pestering you to call them. They're usually happy to go back to email after a few nights of that.
Of course, that kind of sound torture would be difficult to do if you're trying to bait quietly. Then again, you clever young guys can probably figure out how to do it without actually using a speaker at all, just sending the sound file directly to the phone line. |

Yes, but you'll have to bring your own Pepto Bismol with you. They don't have that here. Instead of overeating extremely crappy food and using Pepto Bismol to recover, we just each normally. |

I wish. This young girl is a complete tech mugu- my first question here was "What is an IP address?".

I got such a message just this morning, actually. Given that the mugu in question only responds every two days, I found it a wee bit hypocritical. |
