    The Top 10 Signs You're Addicted to the Net

    10. You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
    9. You get a tattoo that reads "This body best viewed with Netscape Navigator 1.1 or higher."

    8. You name your children Eudora, Mozilla and Dotcom.

    7. You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, like you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

    6. You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap...and your child in the overhead compartment.

    5. You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for the free Internet access.

    4. You laugh at people with 2400-baud modems.

    3. You start using smileys in your snail mail.

    2. The last mate you picked up was a JPEG.

    1. You took the time to find, read and reply to this thread

    Those don't actually mean you are addicted they just mean that you made stupid decisions. Addicted means your reading this right now and have been all day at work now all night on Friday then all day saturday into the wee hours of sunday then rage on sunday followed by a long week of 9-5 online and afterwork. :D haha this whole forum is for internet addicts and there are so many people with so many posts you gotta be dedicated to dive in there and make a claim. This place is like WOW / whatever real world character game or something but free; a mud style adventure about webmastering.

    You are a member of DigitalPoint forum.
