We are easy to spot. We have the shakes, drum our fingers and twitch. From our sullen, sunken faces pop wild, darting eyes.

Oh, how we yearn for our next line or two - of computer text. Yes, we are email addicts: "I could quit tomorrow - if I wanted to."

I'm an Internet addict, not an email addict. I think I'm showing some of the symptons mentioned in this artical however. Oh well what can you do. Newsvine just keeps calling me and calling me........I can't get enough. Aaagh!...I'm off to my therapist.

    I'm only an email junkie when I'm expecting email from others in response to something I've sent. If I'm not in "active mode" expecting a reply it is very easy for me to disengage. It's rather a treat to disconnect for a few days and come back to unexpected emails, well at least personal emails instead of business emails.
