Are You Addicted To Blogging?
But you can’t post this unless you tell us how many of these items apply to you.

Michael’s answers:
10. No. But if the stats were in plain English like pesky godson has checked your blog 79,5 times in the last two days instead of 71.199.090.12 blah blah, I would.
9. Not an issue. She also has a love affair with the blog.
8. Well duh! How else would it get fed?
7. Not to mention my mother’s prolonged agonizing passing. Should I be locked up?
6. Nope. I’m flattered when one person posts a comment even if it is just a question.
5. Rarely. I really try to control myself because I’m deathly afraid that rakkity (retired) will stop
contributing.
4. The blog is self-selecting. I used to have more real friends.
3. No, because answering the blog’s “Feed Me!” command is so much easier than grabbing a paint brush when my house screams “Paint Me!.”
2. My lunch hour is my time to check on the relative success of my (and that includes my long list of contributors) morning’s post.
1. No, I ask, ” Do you mind if I post our conversation on my blog?” I’ve only been turned down once and that was by two female musicians I met on the banks of the Ohio River.
Yup. Uh-huh. Sure am. Passively, that is …

4. What’s the difference between “blog friends” and “real friends”? And how do you know that rakkity (retired) isn’t a consortium of MIT geeks? (Could you tell?) Or maybe an AI created by those same geeks?
The inverse Turing test: Could you tell a real blog friend from an artificial one?
