I don't know how anyone could be so whacked to do so many text messages in a day. It is so annoying to be writing on such a small screen and half the time the messages you get isn't anything important.

I think a person who sends 100 text messages a day, should try finding another hobby. This is really going overboard.

I think I send between 10 and 20 a day, however 100 seems a little excessive! It is quite unfortunate for this girl though, as this RSI will probably be with her forever, causing her pain and discomfort.

Personally. I cannot stand it. If you want to say something just call.

I love text messaging, it makes you feel important! Yep, I'm a nerd at best.

I send between 5 and 10 a week, so it's not that much really.
I've not long learnt how to text, and certainly couldn't comprehend sending 100 a day.
I don't think that anybody sees what damage can be done until it's too late, and that's why there are still so many people out there doing nothing but texting all day!

And between 5 and 10 of them are probably to me!

Only joking. I don't understand why on earth anyone could need to send 100 text messages a day though. Given the current technological state of mobile phones, where they can be used to send emails via the net, it seems pointless to send so many texts when you could send one big email?!
