I never leave the forum. I live here!
I actually put a lot of effort into getting the forum to a certain spot before I write the wrap.
I write the wrap as soon as I 'catch up' on all the days posts. There are usually a few posts from very early in the day that have just been overlooked. I go back and find all these. I also, at the very least, open every single post. It is important that I remove offensive material and that I give everybody the points that they deserve. It is also important that the answers given by the less mathematically proven members of the forum are well checked. As I check the posts I often feel the need to add one of my own. I also keep a personal invisable thread where I put the thread addresses that I am likely to use in the wrap as well as titbits of information that I may also use. It is very time consuming and I am very consciencous and do it to the very best of my ability.
I am always looking for feedback. It doesn't always have to be positive. Constructive criticism will be well received too.
