Top Ten signs you could be a Digg-o-Holic

Are you in Digg-nial?

Have you ever said or thought any of the following statements:

A. "I can stop digging at any time"


B. "I'm just a borderline digger"


C. "I only digg on weekends or at lunch"


D. "Other people digg way too much"


If you've answered 'yes' or 'maybe' or 'I'm not sure' to A,B C or D you may have a problem.


Here are a list of Top Ten signs that might indicate you are a digg-o-holic and not just a problem digger.

If you can relate to more than (3) signs you should probably seek help immediately*

Top Ten signs you could be a Digg-o-holic 

1. Talking or thinking excessively about digging when you 'are' or 'are not' digging.

2. If someone has a 'quasi' interesting submission that doesn't make the front page, you resubmit it anyway knowing full well it's a dupe. (akin to the alcoholic finishing everyone's drinks at the table before your group leaves the bar)

3. Digging two submissions at the same time - most of the time.

4. Feeling a need to catch up with the rest of the diggers when you first arrive at the site.

5. 'Having' to digg - rather than 'wanting' to digg.

6. Digging to get dug.

7. Late or missing work to digg.

8. Digg surfing and Driving.

9. Trying to submit a digg by carrier pigeon.

10. Digging alone.



Obviously not everyone is a digg-o-holic. In conclusion the difference between digging to excess and being a digg-o-holic can be a fine line.


Perhaps this story can sum it up best:


Let's say one night I ate 3000 banana's and got really sick and you dugg 3000 stories and got really burned out... eventually that night we both agree that we are sick and tired.


The difference between a digg-o-holic and someone who diggs to excess is that I'm not going to start eating banana's again at 6am in the morning.
