    When you realize you haven't checked Facebook for two days, but have checked BP umpteen times a day.

    And the very same symptom causes your family to try to get you into rehab for your addiction.

    You watched Josh's entire series of barnyard adverts for the BP Summit!

    When you're reading post and ignoring people that are talking to you in the same room, but act like you're listening to them.

    Like many others, I'm not addicted to BP. I can quit posting any time I want. I just don't want to right now. Rich

    Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.....

    And on that note I am still trying to get the frickin' Addict award. Always somehow miss it in the final days. :(

    I got addicted to a fishing forum a few years back. I learned so much, that I can catch fish anytime I can get away on the lake. Now I check into BP 4 to 5 times a day instead. I sure hope investing gets as easy as fishing.

    When everyone at all the local RE clubs think I am the owner of Biggerpockets! I have to set them straight and let them know I am just a freak addict on the site.

    I think I need to start charging you for all the verbal marketing Josh! :)
