- It's not possible. Trust me. I'm the expert. Sunscreamer is the
- expert on scouts. Ged on Starbases. Me, I've spent my entire netrek
- career working on just one aspect. Giving it up. I've tried cold
- turkey. I've tried slowly weaning myself off of it. I've tried
- several 12-step programs. The farthest I've managed to get away from
- it is to not read the group for long periods of time. Even then, I go
- back with nn and catch up on everything once in a while.

- Netrek is far more addictive than crack. It's the world's first
- mental virus. It enters your brain, sucks out your will, and
- replicates itself over and over. You can't get away from it. Give up
- now.
-
- The only possible comparison is the addictiveness of t.b.
