still it's hard to find the boarder between addictiona and just plain surfing. i mean i'm surfing through the web quite ofte, but that doesn't make me addicted, since i have a family and i know i have someone to take care of, and the time i spend on my computer is just enough for me and i can spend a lot a time with my family. i think there are a lot people like that and i don't think they're ill. it would be appropriate if doctors would specify more clearly where the boarder is.
