I feel the onset of addiction...
This is the story:
I found this forum while researching for a car to buy. After I decided on the 2008 C-class, I began visiting this forum every single day. Then after I put down the deposit on the new car, I started checking for new posts several times a day. Now I check multiple times in the morning before work and when I come home, the first thing I do when I turn on my computer is to check this forum.
It has come to a point at which I am upset when there are no new posts, and I even get angry at other members for not providing me with new material to read. Then I re-read some of my favorites.
I sense danger. Anyone else like me?
p.s. Maybe I'm just an information-hoarder with an obsession with cars in general. Or, it could also very well be that I am just a loser who needs to go out and get a life (away from the Internet).

Haha!!
If you think that's bad, narky, wait until you're checking out more than one forum several times a day. I'm still fighting this obsession... is there a FA (forums anonymous) around to help?

Are you familiar with the term "Post *****"? Its a horrible affliction that affects millions every year. I am living with this disease for years now. I've tried quitting cold turkey, but no deal! I've learned to live with being a post *****. Although I have a mild form of the disease compared to some of the ****** in the OT forum. Now those guys are bad. You know who I'm talking about *cough* Pete *cough* Ricky *cough* Vinh *cough* etc, etc,
