Default Internet addiction is a 'clinical disorder'
Hmmm ... Surely they don't mean talking politics ... do they?

Sufferers spend unhealthy amounts of time playing online games, viewing pornography or emailing. Good .. not us

They suffer four symptoms: They forget to eat and sleep; they need more advanced technology or more hours online as they develop 'resistance' to the pleasure given by their current system; if they are deprived of their computer, they experience genuine withdrawal symptoms; And in common with other addictions, the victims also begin to have more arguments, to suffer fatigue, to get lower marks in tests and to feel isolated from society.

Early research into the subject found highly educated, socially awkward men were the most likely sufferers but more recent work suggests it is now more of a problem for middle-aged women who are spending hours at home on their computers.

The only reason that they would do this is to trigger reimbursement, but as far as I know has not made the famous DSM IV... but can see it coming.

The jokingly asked question was "okay, which one of you is the middle aged woman" and the joking answer was...

Once again, you don't read what's written, you simply react because you see my name.

Have a lovely day!
