I suspect that this northern neighbor of ours (from an American perspective anyway) may not like cold weather--not that I blame him there--so he likes to stay warm inside, in front of a 'roaring' computer screen, the ideal location to read stories, comment on them and write/post his own.
Hopefully, he does take a break now and then to get his buns toasted by the appropriate lady, before she sends him back to his waiting computer...
