Just been idly browsing the 'net and found yourself reading everything on the Source...then decided to move on to another website and reflexively moved the address bar dropdown box back to tasteslikespam.com, even though you just spent like an hour there?
I do this shit all the time.
Tabs, m'boi!
I always have the source, Wizards.community, and the SA forums opened up, and just switch back between them whenever one becomes stagnant. Usually I also have a bunch of middle-clicked links open as well, for when I finish reading a thread and then check back on everything that was referenced in there.
But what usually happens is that I end up accumulating 5-10 extra tabs at a time, but don't go through them for several hours, or even days (I pretty much always use Sleep instead of Shut Down). So I'll finally get around to reading them, only to be forced to figure out what the hell the original thread was talking about :V

Thing is, work still has IE 6.0 or something, so no tabs.

This company is weird. Some stuff is super-advanced, but then some other pieces of software we use look like something out of the movie War Games.

"Do not" is a lot more powerful than "don't".

Nope. I just skim threads until I see my post and then rub my chin and say "hm yes...".

I do the same thing. These days, it's even easier because Firefox just saves my tabs if I want it to.
I don't even remember reading this thread.
Yeah, I do it all the time, except with a bookmark on my toolbar.
Gen 41:54 Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.
