Rid©ully asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 1 decade ago

Is there a Help Group for Answers Addicts? ;o)?

I've managed to spend 5 years on Flickr (much of it in the Help Forum) without such addiction, but within 4 months here I'm totally hooked. It's the variety of questions and the chance to research so extensively.

Is there a Help Group for Answers Addicts - an AA for the net? ;o)

Is it actually against the law (most addictions are) ;o)

Or am I, despite all the available evidence, normal? ;o(

Please help! ;o)

Update:

I *am* being slightly facetious in asking this question, and I'll counter the Dave Gilmour quote with "I have become comfortably numb" ;o)

    No I think Yahoo shuts them down as soon as they get started, this is a Dave Gilmour song, I think it's about Yahoo Answers...

    There's no way out of here

    When you come in

    You're in for good

    There was no promise made

    The part you played

    The chance you took

    There are no boundaries set

    The time and yet

    You waste it still

    So it slips through your hands

    Like grains of sand

    You watch it go

    There's no time to be lost

    You'll pay the cost

    So get it right

    There's no way out of here

    When you come in

    You're in for good

    There never was there an answer

    There an answer

    Not without listening

    Without seeing

    I don't believe there's a support group at this time, but lately I see so many questions similar to yours, that it can only be a matter of time before someone starts one.

    Yes, you are normal like many of us.

    Try to break the habit by gradually reduce number hours on the site.

    Note: it worked for me (Answers, Facebook).
