****************************************************
12 step program for beating forum and splog addictions

1. I have admitted that I am powerless over the draw of forums and blogs. Work has become unmanageable and will never get done if I worry about the opinions of forum trolls living in their parents’ basement.

2. I believe that there is a higher power (than Blogger, Google, Feedster, Technorati, and Bloglines), that can draw me back to working rather than reading why 30 people think the value of H1 tags has decreased in the last two days.

3. I made the decision that I will only check Bloglines once a day, and reduce my hourly forum checking to mornings and evenings. I guess I really DON’T need to know about every new product, joke, or employee of Google and Yahoo the second that it happens.

4. I’ve taken inventory of my favorite posts and bookmarked them all for weekend reading.

5. I am admitting to everyone the nature of my problem, and that I can no longer read EVERYONE’s blog and follow every thread of every friend or favorite.

6. I am sure the invisible web will naturally engulf all defective characters, and they will be flamed into oblivion on any forum post by other newbies who understand marginally more than them for how incredibly stupid they are for asking a question. And if the invisible web doesn't work, I'm sure the snatchhens and peckerheads of the forum world will just crawl up the arse of the closest mod and lick for attention.

7. I humbly ask that you do not ping me anymore good posts, or your bloglines feeds as it will only detract from my recovery. That includes any form of IM too.

8. I’ve made a list of all people I’ve wronged by no longer reading their blogs. I will someday try to link to you all.

9. If I cannot make direct ammends with you, I owe you drinks at the next conference and you can tell me about your favorite cat posts, tin foil hat theories, dangly balls, no pubic hairs aiding in global warming effects and other what the hell was I thinking when I posted that threads.

10. I will continually inventory and monitor my forum and blog use, and refrain from “me too” posts or even the slightest reply, extensively long winded responses, discussions on directories and reciprocal linking, or ever stepping foot into a Google update thread ever again.

11. I’m sure I will sacrifice some sites to the Google gods in order to better understand my insecurities. This is to be expected by not living intravenously through the mistakes and successes of others on the forums. Fortunately, by begging and pleading with engineers and mods - I know that the important sites will come back. I will only re-enter forums and the blogosphere to tirelessly grovel and whine about the sites in which I was powerless to not get a ban lifted and repeatedly ask the same question and vehemently insist that I did nothing wrong until I am banned from the forum or beaten with a large virtual trout sold by a virtual sexy group of gypsies or other entity that changes avatars quicker than a whore wipes at a Vegas convention. Remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Hhhmmmmm new Blog?? Nooooooo.....

12. I will carry this message to other forum whores and splogette *****es…to get your ass back to work and quit reading stupid stuff like this when you could be link building, writing, or editing HTML or better yet HAVING A LIFE doing what we do when unplugged.
