Hi, Bill.
I've been addicted to Free Republic for about (check my timestamp) almost two years now. At first it started out as innocent lurking, reading an article or two a day. Then, I found myself doing it at work, and it all went downhill from there. =P
HAHAHA, someone should start an intervention thread for addicted FReepers, and ping all the usual suspects. of course, the addicted ones wouldnt need to be pinged. that would be truly ironic.
