That's very interesting to me terrics, that you could stay away for 2 1/2 years and feel apart of PB when you returned. I was gone involuntarily for 6 weeks and really haven'nt reconnected on a personal basis since. I pick and choose my post more discriminately now and, yes, humor has always been a easy way to post for me.I think I have a generalized addiction to things distracting, i.e. TV, games, and a shot or beer or two to self-medicate. I'm not a drunk though I will drink to access on occasion, but not alone. I have Xanax for occasional stress related insomnia, but find myself breaking them in half so as not to develop any dependency. My real life and family has never tolerated the level of computer time necessary to become overly attached to a cyber community, although I came close last winter. Nice to meet you terrics.
