Audiogoners Anonymous?

The first step is knowing that you have a problem.

And mine is that I am so interested in this site, that I could forget about everything else I need to do personally and professionally when that Audiogon home page tempts and teases me nearly every waking hour from my Favourites folder.

Knowing this habit and my skillful ability to jump in and out and around this site, checking up to the minute posts and prices, my girlfriend often peers over my shoulder while I am "just checking my emails" or "just finishing a bit of work" before going to sleep -- only to bust me and ask if I am back on Audiogon again.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have some technical solutions?

I am beginning to wonder if my day might be more productive if my desk had two or three computers and only one with web access? Do any of you work on a separate computer?

Prehaps then I might focusing more on the riveting details of my contact database, spreadsheets, and word documents instead of hearing the latest opionions on AC outlets.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

From the Center for the Advancement of Health.TV slobs

"Television watching represents a major sedentary behavior in the United States; on average, a male adult spends approximately 29 hours per week watching TV, and a female adult, 34 hours per week."
At least we are talking, interacting, and thinking a little.
Not to mention the bull shi*ing. That is a real exercise of the active imagination! At least on my part.

I think we are the sane ones!

I have no problem, I can quit anytime I want to. If my wife was nicer or my bose was easier on me I'd never even come here. There is nothing compulsive about my Audiogon relationship or how it effects my life.

Take it from me, 23 years in the program, anyone who comes here more than once a day has a problem. If effects your personal life, your job or spirituality than you need help.

Jadem: "or my bose was easier on me?

Is that some deep Freudian audiophile slip? Is that what you really think of him? Is he a real small guy with an unbalanced response?

Geez, when one of us called "Clueless" constantly comes up with insightful remarks -- it makes you think, doesn't it ;)?

Clueless, maybe he's kind of a squat, oddly-shaped guy who always faces away from you, toward the wall, whenever he speaks. :-)

BTW, you're not claiming that Audiogoning isn't a "sedentary" activity physically, now are you?
