RTF Addiction

Hello, I am posting to ask if anyone finds themselves checking the RTF too much throughout the day. I've tried to delete the Tapatalk app but find myself back on here. Does anyone else have this issue?

I prefer the term actively engaged way more than addiction. You make it sound like it’s a problem or something.

Hi Giovanni,

Yeah, it feels compulsive to me, but I like the interactions. Usually I check in more during periods of worry, using it as a nice distraction. I think it’s harmless but something for
me to keep in check. Was thinking about this just yesterday.

That said, I appreciate this place and the people a lot. all.

I do, too. I like interacting with people in here, on subjects about the watches I love as well as engaging in open discussions. I've been doing so for the better part of a decade without any ill effects other than the occasional dent to the bank account

Rich text format (RTF) is a file format that enables exchanging text files between different word processing programs. You can identify RTF files by their . rtf extension, and most word processors can open them. RTF files contain both configuration information and the actual text of the document.

I prefer rtf as it is very universal no matter the OS versus, say, docx

I'm just guessing, but I think that the OP means TRF, hence the reference to Tapatalk.

Tapatalk is such a terribly buggy app, I barely use it on the go, unless it's to post a WRUW wristshot. That's one place where posting is actually easier than my laptop.

The app's terrible user experience actually keeps me from checking it too often.

I found talking to the members here more + growing up was a good way to disabuse me of any TRF (or RTF, as the case may be) addiction

Giovanni seems to be suffering from IAU.

Improper Acronym Usage.

Also sometimes known as IUA or UAI.
