    When you have more than one account, so you don't look like you spend so much time on here. Therefore you can be seen as a normal, healthy individual with REAL friends, a decent job and happy home life.

    • When your average daily post count is higher than the GNP of some countries. Not so much, but then I'm more of a lurker.
    • When you can read what stewart38 has written and understand it. Sometimes!
    • You write lists about knowing when you are spending too much time on the forum. Okay, so I'm not quite that bad... although I have just replied to the list so...
