    Sometimes I feel guilty that I find it more fun to just browse DP rather than get on with the real work of getting my pages out of supplemental :eek: Obviously a lot can be learnt, and deals can be done. But at the end of the day, am I a forum junkie?

    I spend more time reading posts than I do posting, would get more done without this forum.

    I would learn less, I love DP.

    What can you do when you’re a junkie?

    Voted Yes.

    Thanks Brian

    You guys are so honest, and admitting you have an addiction is the first step to curing it :D Where as I voted no.2 when really I should have voted no.1 :eek: but need therapy to come to terms with my addiction :p

    Kinda scared of missing something, the latest mod, the latest update or announcement, bla bla bla, knowledge hungry, i cant help it.:eek:

    DP is an Addiction.
    I guess I am among those who need therapy here.

    So, when are we going to get one ?? :)

    DP is to webmasters, what a sexy woman is to builders on a building site, a huge distraction.:)

    I used to get too wrapped up in certain threads where people made comments that were obviously intended to "prove me wrong" or question my character. I would feel a need disprove these people. Now I release how prevalent this type of discourse has become here. It is very unfortunate, but I have found the best solution is ignore these types of comments.

    I am spending too much time here as well, not learning much, disappointed by the attitudes and priorities of many, getting the job done but then again, this is not what I am supposed to do, I have a phd to finish but I don't have the motivation right now, so I am developping few sites until I get the motivation back and leave this forum at least for a year.
