According to NSIndex, the shortest TETs only lasted three days.

I wasn't around for that but I don't think I could've kept up the pace. I think this is a nice speed.

Imagine the conversations that occured everyday. It would be about 4,100 posts a day on average. I think I should be more grateful for the soothing conversations we have now.

We need to dig a deeper TET bunker and hope the summer storms pass by overhead.
