I say:
I wonder at what point Ahab woke up and said "Geez, I'm getting
obsessed here!" (not that I'm comparing myself to Ahab or that I
would compare the ifc to either word in the title of the novel) - Perhaps
it's all too easy to appear obsessed (or be so) when it's so easy to
hit the enter key -
The author of the above is correct - The best way to deal with the
obsession is to create non-persons - Which is why I don't read the
ifc's output nor do I refer to this person by name
I'll try to find a 12 step for this - Thanks
