    so the guy has resumed his addiction to these now instead.

    I suppose it's better than wandering about aimlessly in rush hour traffic.

    This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.

    I post while handgliding and foot-painting triptychs of the creation of the world in seven days and temptation of Adam by Eve. It's called multi-tasking.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Man...there is a lot of denial going on in here.

    But then, if everyone here got passed the denial, they probably wouldn't be posting in this thread, so it makes sense. I think I've got a liiiiiiiittle bit of an addiction to net, but I spread it out equally between the PJ boards, a couple investment boards, facebook, other band/music/torrent sites,porn, and email. I actually posted a link in another forum to a quiz that supposedly determines if you have a problem (yes I see the irony behind taking an online quiz about internet addiction). I think I was in a bit of denial when I did the quiz, and it told me that I was ok, but close to borderline. But....like cosmo said....it is the same as any addiction...if it's not interfering with other aspects of your life (work, relationships, schedules) then you're probably ok. I think a lot of people here could be in denial about how it affects them....only because they've been doing it so long that they don't know what their life would be like without spending 5+ hrs a day online.

    You can't tell anything about a person by their post count. I can tell nothing about you and you can tell nothing about me. Judging someone or assuming HOW they live their life based on their post count is about as useful as judging someone based on the color of their skin or their appearance.

    There are a lot of people here who are ill who would otherwise be sitting at home, ALONE, not communicating with anyone and watching day time soaps. Message boards and internet communities afford them the luxury and the benefit of human interaction. I can't see that as a bad thing. If their internet usage was stopping them from living their life outside the net then it's up to them to decide that AND police it.

    Otherwise, I agree, that there is a lot of benefit to being able to make friends and interact with people, share ideas, discuss issues and build a community with like minded people. Or even learn something from people that you don't share views with. Anyway, that's my 2c.

    it used to be that we were all friends meeting here to talk about things that concerned us. becoming disabled allowed me to be here much more and when i worked through that; i found time while doing other things. my business computer is behind me and i can do both. i made a lot of friends i won't give up and i can't fly accross the world to see them so i'll continue to meet them here.
