Your quit is getting old. A dozen signs.

1. Your computer has learned the way to Quitnet, and just takes you there on startup, hoping for some recognition for being so clever.

2. You just can't decide: will it be Quitstop, or Milestones? Quitstop or Milestones? If both, which should come first?

3. You wonder: would people hate you if you did not post congratulations today? Dunno. Better do it, even though you've never heard from msplacebo (13 months!) before, and she's probably been smoking like a chimney for the last 12 months and 29 days.

4. You begin to harbor a grudge against that assho*e, MrFlapJacks, who has NEVER responded to any of your posts or acknowledged ANY of your anniversaries.

5. You stop reading posts that just say "HELP!!!!!" In their subject lines, just to be mean.

6. You start reaching for a simile to improve on "smokes like a chimney." Can't think of a single one. You conclude that this must be among the best similes of all time.

7. You have noticed that MrFlapJacks always uses "your" where he should use "you're," and "it's" where he should use "its" and are considering sending him a helpful q-mail about it. But after typing a long and thoughtful note being very careful to avoid offending him, you hit the cancel button. Let the poor bastard wallow in his improper pronouns.

8. You have copied images of Mike and Ike, the "Talk" buddies, and they are now icons all over your desktop.

9. You have painted the room that houses your computer a lovely shade of green to match the decor of the chat room.

10. You become a regular reader of the "Feedback" forum, just to see if there's any trouble brewing over there that you should know about.

11. Your "People" light is always lit. ALWAYS.

12. You have experimented with the following: sending whispers to yourself (some highly complimentary, and even some nasty ones!), swatting yourself, and putting yourself on your buddy list.
