Post Do I Need Help?

Hello all:

I was reading in a magazine (the Competitor is a mag for athletes/triathletes/marathon runners, etc.) and I noticed an advertisement that made me think...hmmm....

It went something like...

Do you lose valuable work time to surf the Internet?

Do you often find yourself unable to concentrate on important tasks due to constantly thinking about what may be going on in Internet chatrooms?

Do you often ponder "conversations" or posts that you have read over the "net" and additionally obsess about what you will write in response to such posts?

Then you may be addicted to the Internet. For consultation and/or rehabilitation, call Dr. XYZ at ....(you get the rest).

I though to myself "Noooooooooo!"

I noticed that often when I check this page people respond IMMEDIATELY to posts by other people and myself, as if they were literally WAITING for additional posts to come in on a topic.

I'm afraid. AM I addicted? Do I need therapy/rehab? Sould I call chattersanonymous? What's going on here?

Well I just needed to vent.

I have to work now for approximately 5 minutes, then I'll check for responses to this and other topics.

See there...I am NOT addicted...

PEACE
