I confess to being addicted to Youtube.
I just find it more entertaining than the TV programs.
I also read about 5 books a week from the library, play golf every other day, walk at least 4 miles every day, and drink a little bit to much cheap red wine!

I have had various posts deleted when they address a post that crossed the line in some respect and that whole branch of the thread would have been removed.

From my experience it seemed that the post count did not go down when these were removed. But I could be wrong about that.

Impressive.

I want to know which books are your favorites.

And which wine is your favorite.

Golf? Meh.

My guess would be that you are right.

Here I go getting into trouble again, but one possible definition of internet addiction would be the few regular posters every day on "the tread about nothing" and "three word sentences". OK, now let me have it!

Wouldn't the definition of "internet addition" involve adding something to the internet?

Don't be such a hater.. lol

Dam spell check, post edited to addiction. Not a hater, just a person making an informed observation and drawing a conclusion based on said observation. I could be right, but then again, I could be wrong?

Yes, I am addicted to the internet, my phone, other gadgets too. Love technology and that is probably my addiction. I am not particularly good at any of this stuff, but when it is not working or Century Link if out I am a bear with a sore head.

My addiction is not ruled by the amount of TIME I spend on the net during the day, but to the fact that I NEED to have it up and working in perfect condition.

You might be addicted to the internet if:
- You are trying to be the number 1 or highest poster
- You seek out the wifi password when you arrive someplace new
- Other people are concerned about how much time you spend on line
- Your internet usage has steadily increased
- You get grumpy, anxious, or upset if you can't log in
- You frequently post pictures of your lunch and you are not in the food business
- You constantly fact check or search old posts and believe you are an internet Dick Tracy
