    own up ! who's a Casebook addict ?

    Well it was quite clear to see that I am addicted to the Boards by my withdrawal symptoms whilst they were inaccessible !

    I don't always post, but I certainly read them first thing over breakfast, and when I get in from work, and last thing at night -lunchtime too, if I'm not working..

    I found myself sitting staring at an empty screen whilst drumming my fingers,
    visiting the site every hour, and generally circling the computer in an anxious state...that is addiction, eh ?

    So does anyone else own up to having the same reaction ?

    substitute

    Hello Ruby. Well, at first. Then I dragged out an old algebra text and began working problems.

    Very refreshing!

    Cheers.

              Well, let's see. I'd say anybody with 5,000 or more posts within a period of 3 years. I'm working on it, but I guess I have a long way to go.

                first page i look at in the morning and last one at night......just in case some thing new has come up or whether a suspect has been proven....for example Vincent Van Gogh caught with his easel in Millers Court.....

                  great thing about casebook is that it makes you realise how little you actually know in comparison to those that actually do......

                        I really had no idea just how many Ripperologists there were until I found this forum.
                        This is simply my opinion

                          I'm not an addict.

                          I can give it up anytime I want to...only, I don't want to...

                            You can't tell it by the number of posts here on the forum, but I am a Casebook addict. I always check in daily and catch up on things. Maybe I'll get up the nerve to post more, I just feel that my knowledge on the case compared to most of you is limited.

                              Esther, you should not let that stop you. My first thread was concerned the witness Israel Schwartz; i was certain that no one would of heard of him.
