Found this test this morning:

I got a 52:

50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

I agree.

I'll see you guys later.  :)

Exactly. Not to mention the glorious weather on my day off.  :)

My score was 25.  Just what I thought - I'm not addicted to anything. ;)

Haha! (Except you know what..)

24 for me - but where's the "Never" option?  "Rarely" doesn't apply to some of the questions for me.

Didn't you read the fine print?  Complaints from a wife automatically gives you a score of 79.

That's why they had an option "Does not apply." But they also had both "Frequently" and "Often" as options, for those who want to make fine distinctions.

My score = 41.

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

This is ridiculous. Look, I know I'm an addict, no need to hide it from me, OK?

Yes, I felt the same way. I think they raised the bar too high so that no one (except sarge  ;D) is an addict.  :-\

Maciek

Yes. And calling me average too. What nerve!
