Yeah, I read the, but as I knew they would be directly removed I ignored them (so I thought you did, too).
Why do I think so? Guillaume's post was just one line and your reply was like 3 lines, so I thought you meant that for everyone complaining for MSIE.

Now to the off-splitted-topic.

Well, dear Sean,
Computer addiction is a bad thing... It restricts your social live because you don't meet your friends, you chat with them.

Well, it's one of the basic causes of computer addiction. The next step is that you need to get online at least a bit every day. Your mail, as long as it's not serious (like for work, expecting mail from family overseas) doesn't count. And if you don't work with that (if you were willing to work with the comp in te future you would've learnt some coding already).

To my quote again, it was not a joke, but it wasn't meant seriously enough. It's just a way to warn you that internet/computer addiction is one serious illness.

When does it become serious?
When you put being online in front of other relevant things like real social contact with your friends and family, reading, having a gf (or whatever you want to call it) and so on. Things that are an important part in your mental development. Not saying you're dumb, but it may cause you some social troubles.

This just about the illness, I can't say if you suffer it or not, but it could be that, if you try to spend as many hours as possible online, you could be a patient. That's all about it.
