Are you a post-a-holic?

_ Do you have uncontrolled cravings to post a message (create a new thread topic or reply to another person's thread)?

_ Do you have obsessive thoughts about posting (brainstorm about creating new thread topics while not online, new topics come to you as you dream while sleeping, stare at the forum listings until you think of a new post)?

_ Do you focus all your energy online posting and monitoring posts (constantly checking the status of a post, checking number of replies, checking who's online to see if they might read your post soon, trying to think of new thread topics, posting so many messages you forget which topics you've created or replied to, worried someone will reply before you do to a thread, become so exhausted from posting, lose track of time)?

_ Do you neglect food or bathroom breaks or other hygiene because you are posting messages?

_ Do your eyes, neck, lower back, wrists, fingers, head, or knees hurt from being online posting messages?

_ Does your mood depend on the quality of posting you are having for that day (feel anxious, heart races, feel depressed, happy, or worthy)?

_ Not listen to family members talking to you because they're messages aren't being read in thread/post format?

I'm sure if you answered yes to any of these questions above could suggest you are a postaholic. (note: I don't think all pollaholics are internet addicts. So I wanted to try to define what a postaholic is.)
