All jokes aside, people can get hooked on the internet because of the "feedback"--it's not too different from gambling, because the win-lose is feedback. And probably most FRs have wondered about the time sink.

When there's some really great story happening, I find it hard to stay away.

Do you have a woods with brush to clear? (g) It's calling me right now...

Feedback can be a problem. People tend to get angry if you don't stay and answer for hours on end. But, I don't mind getting answers the next day or several days for that matter.

I have developed the habit of just checking for the little red notice. If none I continue with my day.

I agree. I think it's the "feedback" that the sight offers. It's like being an active part of the story in a book or on television. Why would you want to turn away? You may have something worthy to contribute and get an attaboy for it.

I have a porblem with FR and time management myself. I don't have a solution. Except to put an alarm clock by the computer and limit the amout of time you spend on it to an hour or two a day. When the alarm goes off, put the mouse down and slowly back away from the computer...

You should ping him when you mention him. ;)
