Is there a cure?
What's the nearest branch of Answers Anonymous?

Well i'm experiencing many symptoms but the most major symptom is that when i get to work, the first thing i do is log in and it is my greatest goal to earn as many points as possible. Ian in the office has 2800 (i don't think he has much of a life) and i have made it my mission to beat him (i have 350). It has taken over my life. I think i might stop going home from work and sit up all night just answering answering answering! Must earn points! Must earn points!
And no my little flower, there is no cure
we're all doooomed!

The symptoms are excessive Answering and Questioning, shaking and sweating when you're not on it, and even dreaming about it. There is no known cure, save going cold turkey. There is as yet no branch of Answers Anonymous, although you have given me an idea of setting up one. The thing is, I would probably end up on Answers instead of giving support.

this thing is pretty addictive!!!
Our office manager is on holiday at moment so we spend most the day on it!!!
She's back monday so may be looking for the nearest branch of answers anonymous myself!!!!!
as for the symptoms, well its gotta be fact that i'm on here most of the day, only stopping to go to loo or for a cigarette! even on it when i'm eating!!!
Only cure i can think of is to throw pc out of window... mmm... think my boss would want to know why i'd no longer got pc on my desk!!!!!!!!

Late in office files
Loss of production
Reduction in useful talk with colleagues
Weight loss and reduction in food take
Reduction in alcohol
Reduction in conflict with family members (because we finished here in the yahoo answer room)

like i mention symptoms are-u always have question,then if u not open yahoo answers in a day..u feel something missing,something not complete and when u open it..u cant stop to answer other people's questions.
now i visiting my sister at her house,she have pc wif internet, that is good for me..yeah bcoz at my family home i cant do internet surf anymore coz we didnt pay internet bill..so it has cutted.if u want to cure it,just ignore to pay ur internet bill..
but actually the good thing is u can share opinions here,get knowledge,sometimes argue wif others...hehe..all u'll get in one here-it's that amazing?and not to forget-points!
ur last question-it will never happen,i think it's interesting for people to have name here:)

Using Yahoo! Answers just to bump up your points.
Always using Yahoo! Answers.
