Well, then I'm addicted.  Actually apolyton.net/forums is my startpage because that's what I always read. And with the headlines in the newsbox I don't need the frontpage anymore. |

I only have Apolyton as startpage at home; not at work. Maybe you're really addicted if you also have it as startpage at work. |

I have Apolyton as startpage at home, at work and at my university. Does that make me addicted?
I guess I am because all the other suggestions have actually happened at some point (except from becoming a mod) |

-when you are reading a book about the late bronze age and the first time it lists Theban pottery you laugh a little, thinking Theben's gonna be mad, and then the next time you read it as Thredben or Tehrblan and eventually you start laughing so hard you have to put the book down.Then you know. |

When you reply on your email, and are dissappointed when you don't see the "some are born great" quote on your screen.
When your kids have middle names like Ming and DanQ.
When you know more about the posts here and the latest people who are ticked at DanQ than you do about what's happening in your home.
When threads like this are printed out to read in the bathroom. |

When you write your work reports and papers using alternately white and light grey paper.When you accuse your new neighbours of being double logins. When you add your Apolyton handle and registration date to your name plate on the front door. When you talk to colleagues, you refer to your boss as The Admin. When you don't talk as much as you used to at staff meetings, because you think of the flood control setting in. |

When your face actually turns green when you laugh.If asked when the Internet initially set off, you reply "b.02-15-99". When the Apolyton logo is burned in at the upper left corner of your screen. When you routinely add seven hours to any foreign time zone you come across in order to get your own time. When you write memos at work, you include a blue smiley or thumbs up/down in the header. |

When you copy strategy posts to Word and you know you already have them there...When you check threads to see what you already posted before in case your new post conflicts with your previous post... When you want to quote Apolyton posters in your history term paper... When you forget that the Babylonians never *actually* fought the Sioux... ...but you *really* wonder what would have happened if they had... When you wish there was a mood icon to choose that had x's for eyes but a smile, for when you were "reallt waster bu t haaapy" about it. ------------------
