Got this little list from Ars Technica, who have read a recent study. So why not answer it?

• uses the Internet regularly - yes
• feels that personal relationships have suffered as a result of excessive Internet use – err, sometimes yes
• conceals non-essential Internet use – tricky, I’d say no I guess
• feels preoccupied by the Internet when offline – I’m a blogger, so hell yes!
• finds it difficult to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time – oh yes, absolutely
• goes online to escape problems or relieve negative mood – nah, I drink scotch
• has tried to cut back on Internet use (if so, was it successful?) – haven’t crossed my mind, no
• how often respondent stays online longer than intended - always

How about you? Are you as much a lost cause as I am?
