It only a 'refuge' that you need to stop overabusing by accepting the pain that comes from doing the OTHER things in life. Less intellectual, more physical activities helps a lot when trying to break this vicious circle.

I would mostly concur. I can't say its less intellectual -- I gather knowledge for projects and the like from Wikipedia which is a great source of information -- on the other hand I can go on a Wikipedia binge and click and click through URLs until I know the trivia of the most northern island in Scotland or something.


And yes, though PBabble is a great source of therapy it can also be a "refuge" as you put it from doing other things in life.

All in moderation.

Remember, people use the internet for coding, building web pages, work related internet use, distributing videos, I dare say creating porn sites for profit (which is probably one of the most lucrative things out there [g]).


The one thing I notice though is that the more I get interested (as I am typing), the likelihood of staying up later and getting my sleep clock all messed up is going to occur. Which means I probably should get to sleep sometime soon :)

I don't know, that's my 2c
