<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make... Yesterday I hadn't checked Sphinn in a few days and I felt a bit guilty about it. I was pushed for time so I whizzed through the front page, and the upcoming submissions (new ones, and most sphunn so far) and I began checking them out...With the clock ticking I found myself sphinning the article BEFORE having read it because I just liked the title, or liked the site it came from. Sometimes just because I liked the submitter. Oh my gosh! Am I the only one that does this?Today is Saturday, I'm feeling chilled, not posting on my blog today so I'm taking my time and I'm actually READING the posts I sphinn... but it makes me wonder if other people do the same.And then there's this one - do you ever sphinn without even clicking through to the article? I've done that a few times too *blush*Okay confession over, back to sphinning :-)<br/><br/>52 Vote(s) ]]></description>
