This probably won't fly but you never know, someone might actaully have some funny ones...

You know your addicted to SAGG when....

1. ...it's your Home Page.

2. ...in general conversation you've said, "...do you think I'm just going to accept that non-Peer Reviewed nonsense?"

3. ...you spend time making anagrams of some of the major contributors (a prize for the correct answers):

Sorry ODD UREA.

Jim, I tried your real name but the best I could do was:

Wood, Jim?

Very poor.

Blacknad.

Ahhh Inclusion!!!
My life is complete.
ODD UREA

7. You compose a future conversation in your head with SAGG when you're nowhere near a computer...like the shower!

8. You can't remember if you are arguing for the existance of "God" or against the existance of "god", but you want to type something mean just for spite.

I think to much I think.

I am member 667 BTW so beware...

All hail the single digits. Been around here so long I can remember Trident, and the helicopters.

No ... don't ask. Those that were here will remember.

But addicted? I think not. Some of us devote our spare time to turning on light switches or at least pointing out the areas where light never shines brightly enough.

Addicts always deny their dependency, DA.

True.

DA, the first step on the road to recovery is to admit you have a problem.

Blacknad.

I have many problems. This is not one of them. ;-)

1349 posts in 18 months says you do.

2.5 posts per day.

On average 5 minutes to read and then respond.

112 hours or 4.6 days solid posting on SAGG.

Boy, it soon mounts up :-)

Blacknad.

Go to comp.databases.oracle.server

You will likely find dozens per day.

I am an academic. I teach. This is what I do.

DA is the ingredient that makes SAGG addictive.

I'm not sure if it's because he gives voice to the side of reason and common sense that resides in us all, or if the cycle of verbal abuse is in itself highly addictive.

It is both. I have rather a lot of experience in how to effectively use language to communicate. A doubt there are few reading what I write that find what I say ambiguous.

That said I do sometimes intentionally use words that will provoke an emotional response.

Justine, you make a good point.

It is difficult to sit back and relax. Sort of like watching a child walk out into the traffic.
Never-the-less I enjoy the main stream stuff.
