So, I'm wondering this for myself. Why do I spend so much time here? Hasn't the initial thrill of meeting invisible people worn off? Don't I have other things to do? What's wrong with me?
You need to add: "I don't want to, but I can't help it, I'm addicted!"
It's fun.
Plus, at work, it makes the time pass more quickly.
As you suggested, dag. The work thing is how I got addicted to A2K. But it's now more than that. I find myself laughing at posts from my favorite members even when I'm not online. Something happens in my day and the first thing that comes to mind is that I should talk about it on A2K. I'm about 2 inches away from totally exposing myself on a forum that is readable by the entire world. What is wrong with me?
I'd vote in an 'all of the above' category, but you don't have one.....

I'm collecting Social Security and probably older than most of the posters here. My health and Mr. Noddy's health limit my physical mobility.
My family lives far away. Mr. Noddy's family is all too available.
My son bullied me into a computer and I'm glad he did because the compter and A2K are preserving my sanity--even in a blizzard.
You know, I feel that same way, FreeDuck. Is this an unhealthy addiction? Last night, when I was out drinking, me and my friend were laughing about stupid **** while we were drunk and at certain points I would be thinking, "Oh, this would be a great thread on A2K."
That's just nuts, isn't it?
Chatting got old, you can only iggy so many people on your yahoo messenger and I believe I have reached my quota. I stumbled across A2K looking for some outside advice and have fallen in love with it. The folks in here are real and some are as funny as you can get.

Yes. That is nuts. I'm nuts. That's the only explanation. Why would a normal person choose to talk to a bunch of strangers over interacting with people locally? Oh wait. I know the answer to that. Everyone here where I live is an asshole.
But still, this is definitely an addiction. I don't know if it's healthy or not.
I'm just here to find a husband and a father for my 6 children.
The only reason I come to this site is to continue a search. A search I have carried on for many years, and one that will probably never end. You see, I am looking for a woman with six kids.
But where the hell is a person to find someone like that?
Oh well, I'll just keep looking.

Because we are a self-selected group.
Think back to the really unpredictable part of the universe when the carbon atom started to react with each other.
There is something to that, dear Noddy. We are a wacky bunch and folks and anyone not comfortable with our wackiness is not likely to be vulnerable to this kind of addiction.
I beg your pardon. I am not wacky!
That about explains it.
