    1. If you know the names of members by their initials.
    2. If you screw off hours a day re-reading your lousy threads.
    3. If your wife says you are hooked and you bust off into an argument, then check your thread.
    4. If you consider anyone on here your good friend.
    5. If you wonder from time to time what Smegs fiancee looks like.
    6. If you want to be godparent to FT's kid.
    7. If you do over 5 minutes of research to defend your point.
    8. If this is your homepage.
    9. If you have contemplated spearheading a telethon the get the search feature back up.
    <------10. If your on-line gambling time has been cut in half.

    If, after 7 days without visiting CC.NET, your wife, girlfriend, partner or roomate finds you lying in a fetal position under the computer desk, sucking your thumb and foaming at the mouth.

    11. If you put your CCnet moniker on your business cards

    12. You come to CC.net for news before checking any other major news source.

    13. You have your screen name tattooed, monogramed, printed, on any bodypart, piece of clothing or anywhere on your car including your license plate.

    12. If you see your cc.net initials somewhere in public and think about cc.net. That whole HP company thing is screwing with my head.
    13. If you stiffled at laugh at AB's #3 reason
    14. If you've started a thread on cc.net addictions.
    15. If you have an email folder devoted to saving Smeggy's email.

    Check

    Double check

    Half a check. RM95's Girl knows I'm hooked, we just don't get into an argument about it.

    Check. One's probably my best.

    Yeah, I worry about the appearance of anyone willing to marry Smeg.

    Check, then e-mail stories about him hourly to Trader_Non-Hispanic Name

    Sure, I've done it. Of course, I haven't spent 8 days (so far) trying to create another classic (HA!) like Trader_Non-Hispanic Name revealed to us he's doing.

    This one I can't claim. If I didn't work for another one, yes, it would be.

    www.saveoursearch.com

    So addicted that I don't even have any time for on-line gambling.

    16. If you've used a cc.net anecdote on a public stage. (Batman Jones's stage for me.)
    17. If you and your wife have stayed over at my house without meeting me beforehand.
    18. If you have ever walked around a section of Compaq Center yelling a cc.net members name who you don't know by sight.
    19. If you are dribbling a bball everywhere you go in an attempt to get back into game shape for the Smeggy World Tour
    20. If you've taken personal offense vicariously through Clutch to see TheRocketGuy getting his articles posted here.
    21. If you announced losing your virginity here on cc.net, before anywhere else.
    22. If you've ever thought about re-registering with your real name, so you could join the BrianKagy fraternity of balsy Full Monty posting
    23. If you practice for Behad's annual Trivia Game.
    24. If Mango has ever emailed you to say, "Are you upset with me."
    25. If one of the Admins changes your BBS Title
    26. If you over 12,000 posts.

    27. If you don't even watch basketball, but you register for the board just so you'll finally be able to share a common bond with your cc.net addicted spouse.

    Actually last night during the game on chat T_J said he is not working on another classic post, but rather a "masterpiece" post.


    28. If you've ever hit F5 with a thread open to refresh the posts, but no more posts have been added.

    - If you've ever thought about cancelling a vacation because the hotel doesn't have internet access.

    - If you ever call any of your friends that log on here and spend most of the conversation discussing various posts to the BBS.

    - If you go on vacation and don't check the BBS for a few days, people start wondering if you're dead.

    33. If you post a message to the BBS at 4:00 AM, then wait around for an eventual reply...
    34. If you actually remember where everyone lives and works...
    35. If you read the Feedback Forum for lively discussions...
    36. If you offer to pay Clutch to change your BBS title...
    37. If you actually spend your valuable time creating nice Photoshop images for rockHEAD'S "Photoshop This!" threads...
    38. If your only goal in life is to rack up the most "kills" in the BBS Spelling Survivor Game...
    39. If you recognize when someone changes their signature (and remember what it was before the change)...
    40. If the BBS has spurred you to become a better speller and overall better writer...
    41. If you wait around online for the conclusion of one of Manny's dates just to hear how it went...

    64) If you go on vacation for a few days and wonder if you'll be missed. ;)

    (Happy, TheHorns?;))

    You guys really crack me up...

    43. If you are still pissed at who knocked you out of the best poster contest.

    44. If you want to see pics of Isabel and Windandsea.

    45. If you have accessed this site on someone elses computer and they ask, "what the hell is a pippendagimp?"
