Hi everyone!

My name is "Pete," and I'm a BikeForums-a-holic.

I used to spend hours and hours per day on the computer. Before my first weekend was over, I was a "Senior Member!"

But soon, my posting wasn't limited to the weekend spree, staying up until 2 or 3 a.m. Before long, I was posting at work more than I was working (not too hard to do, unfortunately, given that my job is sort of, well, "inactive.") It finally caught up with me.

My boss fingered me for violating a professional code of conduct (which still urks me, since everyone else still surfs until their wrists ache.) I had to face my addiction.

It's a good thing, too, since my computer addiction was eating into my sleep, therefore hurting my bike time!

Now, I only post after work, at home, and I go to bed at nighty-nite time. I am back on the wagon! <applause>

I used to be ashamed of my addiction, but everyone who knows me at BikeForums is supportive. I only hope my experience benefits someone else who may be "surfing too close to sharks."
