I have been for so long that time is a blur.  I can&#8217;t even tell you when or how it started.  I&#8217;m a hopeless lost cause.  You see, I didn&#8217;t come here for redemption, reform or rehabilitation.  No my brothers and sisters, I came here to reaffirm my addiction &#8211; to bask in it&#8217;s soft radioactive glow.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I love the web with all it&#8217;s <a href=http:\/\/www.dictionary.com target=top><b>useful<\/b><\/a> and <a href=http:\/\/www.shirtninja.com\/help.htm target=top><b>useless<\/b><\/a> information.  I relish the fact that I can <a href=http:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com target=top><b>shop from home<\/b><\/a>, <a href=http:\/\/www.popcap.com target=top><b>while away the hours<\/b><\/a> then turn around and <a href=http:\/\/www.pixelscapes.com\/spatulacity\/button.htm target=top><b>push a big red button<\/b><\/a> that does absolutely nothing.  Ahhh, bliss.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Email is another great form of entertainment too.  I can keep up with my friends, write stinging commentaries to my congressman and learn how to enlarge my penis &#8211; just like <a href=http:\/\/www.dmentd.com\/images\/johnholmesemail.jpg target=top><b>John Holmes<\/b><\/a>.  Spam is the greatest sometimes.  Have any of you actually <i>read<\/i> some of the stupidity that hits your inbox?  It&#8217;s hilarious.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I live for filesharing &#8211; well, partaking from people who share files anyway.  There are <a href=http:\/\/www.kazaalite.com target=top><b>one<\/b><\/a> or <a href=http:\/\/www.edonkey2000.com target=top><b>two<\/b><\/a> really good P2P programs out there that make my life complete.  I just can&#8217;t get enough of my favorite <a href=http:\/\/pinky.wtower.com\/animx target=top><b>animated shows<\/b><\/a>, <a href=http:\/\/www.foodtv.com\/foodtv\/show\/0,6525,EA,00.html target=top><b>TV series<\/b><\/a> and old <a href=http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/Name?Chan,+Jackie target=top><b>martial arts<\/b><\/a> movies.  I can collect them to watch at my leisure and trade with my friends.  I won&#8217;t go into the whole music side of it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#8217;ve only just scratched the surface, my friends.  You should give up this folly of giving it up and join me in my pride.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>(someone approaches the podium from the darkness of the room)<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Gonzo, what are you doing here?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Uh, Stuff, when we say that this is an internetaholic support group, we meant that we&#8217;re helping each other to use the internet more frequently and efficiently.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Ah, I see.  So I don&#8217;t have to hand out these porn-site password leaflets then &#8211; you know, as an incentive to fall off the wagon?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;What?  Are you on crack?  Of <i><b>course<\/b><\/i> you have to.  Do you forget your audience?
