It's the bears!. THE BEARS!

The bears force us to work in the deep mines of Yahoo Inc!., answering questions all day and night, and we only get one little piece of meatloaf a day!. I'm trapped in a cell with my only friend for 32 years, a cellmate flamingo named Robbie!. It's pretty lonely down here!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, my avatar name is YA Junkie, so you can probably figure out I am addicted!. Over the summer, I asked about 4 questions about buying a new computer!. I got very helpful advice and then I started answering questions!. In less than a week I became a YA junkie, a total addict!.

I am afraid to actually figure out how much time I spend on YA, but it is probably 2-3 hours a day, maybe more!. I believe you can get addicted to almost anything!. With a TV, you are being very passive, just sitting & watching!. However, computers are always interactive, even it is only using the mouse and the keyboard!. With YA, I get more of a buzz since I am interacting with folks, scoring points, etc!.

Soon I will have to go to Answers Anonymous to overcome my addiction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes there is an addictive component to Yahoo Answers for many people!. I admit that I can be one of them!.

What I enjoy about it is that I feel very useful and helpful, and this brings!.!.!.!.mwah haha (evil laugh)!.!.!.!.POWER! When you can influence someone even in a positive way, as in advising them or helping them, you exert some power over them!. It helps some to feel like they have some impact!. Of course with electronics taking the place of real interaction this is a disturbing habit to get into!. e-interacting instead of!.!.!.just plain interacting!.

Plus it is a classic intermittent reinforcement schedule (the most highly reinforcing) when you leave an answer then go back and check thumbs up, best answers, percent of best answer, contact list!.!.!.!.sometimes you get a response, sometimes you don't!. It is THEE surest way to ensure that a person will keep trying to get that reinforcer!. and YES it is behaviorally addictive!.!.!.I think that the drug is actually endorphins!.

lol

there is such think as an addiction to the internet, as it is an escape from the pain and fear in the real world, people know here it is safe and they can create their own realities!.

it is a common addiction, and most people have a mild case, quitting can be as difficult as that of smoking or drug use!.
