Yes I'm an addict. No, it's not a problem. I'm going to take a break, just as soon as I finish editing this...

Maybe I need a 12 step program^W...

1. We admitted we were powerless^W over wiki-editing and our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe^W that a power greater than ourselves^W could restore us to sanity^W.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him^W/Her^W/It^W/Them.^W
4. When that failed, we took responsibility for our own actions.
5. Admitted the ^Wexact nature of our wrongs.
6. Left the computer occasionally, in order to meet attractive people and flirt with them.
7. Sought through prayer^W and meditation^W to improve our conscious contact ^Wwith God as we understood Her,^W praying only for ^Wknowledge of Her will for us^W and the power^W to carry that out.
8. Having had a spiritual awakening^W as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message^W to wikiholics.^W
9. Realised the irony of creating this notice.
10. Learnt to count.
