Putting aside the fact that this was a clever thread title, I have had an epiphany on the matter.
Two words, VMK-ers:
Behavioral Learning
So begins my Psychology lesson.
Pavlov and Skinner. Two names that will play a heavy role in this lesson (ok, so I lied. I will end up talking about Classical Conditioning as well).
Pavlov is one of the big dogs (hehe) of Classical Conditioning. His experiments involved the salivation of dogs when food was near. He theorized that if he is able to pair that stimulus (the food) with another, neutral stimulus, then theoretically the dog will react with the same response (salivating) to the new stimulus. He tested this out by setting out the dog's food and ringing a bell at the same time. Over the course of several weeks, Pavlov only needed to ring the bell to get the dogs to salivate.
Though Monday was a neutral stimulus, with several months of conditioning, we have been trained to believe that Yavn will post on Mondays, though he never said he would.
Skinner believed in more of a treat/punishment aspect of Learning, otherwise known as Operant Conditioning. For those of you that watch ABC's LOST, you will recognize the Skinner Box. The Skinner Box was a cage where rats would press a lever and be rewarded with a treat. There are varying techniques on when a reinforcement is given. What Yavn did was to change up the reinforcement schedule, thus we have absolutely no idea when we will get our treat. We used to be on a Fixed-Interval Schedule (a schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response only after a specified time has elapsed) but now it appears that we are on a Variable-Interval Schedule (schedule of reinforcement that reinforces a response at unpredictable time intervals).
Thus, I can conclude that several of us are not in fact, impatient, but merely going through the throes of learned helplessness. What we believed to be true (Yavn Mondays) is shown to be an illusion, thus we cannot effectively rely on getting weekly Yavn posts. And with all the new stuff coming out, folks are addictively awaiting Yavn posts.
Combine that need to have Yavn posts with a Variable-Interval Schedule...
