Well I'm back in full addiction mode. I'm feeling better these days and I've got lots to say. Actually, I'm finding it difficult not to just keep writing and writing and writing. And I can't stop reading and reading and reading. And re-reading. I like to look back and remind myself of what you wrote previously, look at those posts I never commented on at the time. The only problem is that I think that if I comment on them now, you'll think I never read them in the first place. What is the matter with me? Actually, sometimes I did never read them in the first place. Even being away for a few days creates a backlog that is practically impossible to clear. Sometimes, especially when there has been a lot of posting by friends, I miss them anyway. I'm always afraid that I'll miss something really important and then you'll be thinking that I don't care. But actually, we're all the the same situation, pretty much, so you all understand - just as I do.

It's true - we all have it.
I do keep telling myself how silly I'm being, and I've been reassured often enough, but still at times I get caught up in it. -

I know the feeling, when I was off here for 10 days of so last month I felt totally out of it, ended up loading all my friends blog pages up and spending a whole night reading.

Blog moves along quickly, doesn't it. It's so easy to miss what's going on. Ten days is a very long time in blogworld. I must admit that when I was away, I never did catch up with everyone, and this is mainly because I'm too disorganised - I'd read one, see someone had made a post in the meantime, read that, link to some other blog from there, and before I knew it, it was time I was asleep and the task I'd set myself still not complete. I recall you were one of the people who told me not to stress about it, so I am trying not to - and mostly succeeding these days.

You make me wonder if I should be riddled with guilt. Half the time I don't get around to reading my friends posts either even when I'm present and browsing. A shameful confession, I know, but time limits exist and although I do try my hardest to read everything I know I'll never manage it. I'm such a failure.

No, no need to do the guilt thing; it's so very easy to get sidetracked here, and we all do it. If you're a failure then we nearly all are. Actually, the main thing is to post, and if you do that with reasonable frequency then your success as a blogger is ensured. I have spoken (written).

I think I'd go cross eyed if I read every single blog on my list every day...apart from the fact I've had trouble staying on line for long..that's cured now, thank goodness, but do feel a bit bad for not reading some. How do we know how many people have read our posts...I know the stats say one thing, but I don't think all our friends read every post everyday, so I don't think you should feel guilty...big hugs.

It's a pity the stats don't say who actually visits our site. For myself there are those on my friends list who I visit quite frequently, but almost never comment. They might think that I've not been for ages when in fact I have. It would be comforting to know someone is visiting on a regular basis. I find that the longer I have someone on my friends list the less often I comment because frequently I'm just repeating myself, particularly where I just leave short comments, but I'm still reading. How are they to know that?
Thankfully, I don't feel guilty anymore (at least I don't think I do) because we're all doing the same, and we all do have a 'real' life to lead. -

Now that you mention such drastic action, I'm not sure I want to conquer the addiction.
And thanks for letting me know I'm in the Top 20 today. I think it's quite some time since I was there last. -

I thought I'd have a look and see if I was still in the Top 20 today, and instead of myself I see you there, at number 13 no less. An imorovement of five places over my position yesterday. Well done!

Hehe - blog paranoia.
You're right - I reckon we all have it.
