in reply to Users who don't log out

I must add/comment that there are sometimes when server/net load are too high and it is practically imposible to logout and/or use any of the perlmonks options. If this is at the same time that you are going away from you computer, it is difficult to logout. So if that matters, it is another cause of some of us to seem to be here when we aren't.

Just an opinion.

God bless you

    You misunderstand. If you can't contact perlmonks.org to log out then then you are still effectively "not here." The only issue here is people with windows to stuff like Fullpage Chat or New Java Chat Client where they keep hitting the server and as far as PM is concerned, never actually leave.
