It helps your addiction -- and the amount of free time you spend on the internet if -- BIG IF -- you are:
Retired
Have multiple laptops all with wifi
Have lots of hired help to do the crap you used to have to do on your own <grin>
As I've learned in the REAL AA.... an addiction is only a problem - if it's a problem to "others" or you're harming yourself.
So far - the only harm I've done to myself is that my nuts sometimes get awfully warm with the laptop actually in my lap.

And my wife is too busy to notice what the heck I'm doing.
EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
