hehehe, they are for real


edit:

more quotes:
Then one day I was in the electronics department at Wal-Mart. When I wrote a check instead of signing my name, I wrote my email address. I knew I needed help.
Our program is based more on moderation... we call it Modem Moderation.

People who get addicted to the internet can get addicted to ANYTHING else. The internet is not a drug, it does not addict people who are not normally susceptible to things like that. However, the internet is a pretty normal part of everyday life for pretty much anyone, so I think people should be careful before they manage to get themself classified as an "addict" by some two-bit doctor :)
