I cannot be the only academic who recurrently feels regarding the Internet like a reasonably self-aware but raging alcoholic whose profession requires that he work in a bar.

With you there. You have introduced me to a whole new way to waste time. I did not post that my resolution was to avoid checking the blog until I’ve gotten work done each morning. I’ve only kept to it a couple of times. And I’m actually working on an NSF deadline right now. But I tell myself that I need a break occasionally!
You are far from alone. It is both my work’s greatest blessing, and its greatest curse.
Yes, I am with you. One of my resolutions was to not look at blogs until the evening (also, to not check email until noon). Please note the time that I am posting this. I guess I lasted a good two weeks. Sigh.
*Sigh* No, you’re certainly not alone.
i guess my reading and commenting on scatterplot but not actually contributing is a bit like sticking to beer rather than hard alcohol.
You keep telling yourself that, buddy.
Oh, cripes, this is a good analogy. I had to take a blo-sabbatical, because it was the craziest addiction EVER. Now I only allow 30 minutes of reading/commenting a day and no posting, until I get my book sent off.
but.
man.
do.
I.
miss.
it.
