Well of course it is...
But really some of you out there who are posting nearly instanteous responses to Forum posts at all hours of the day and life need to focus on your real income-generating life and family and NOT spend so much time on line looking a silly posts like this one.
You know who you are (not counting me).

I didnt read and respond too fast, did I? LOL
Sounds like a good topic for the next monthly HLA meeting...
Step #8 (in the 12 step program): Wait at least 30 minutes before responding to an Harbour Lights issue posting. I know the cravings are present, but try mowing the lawn or baking some cookies to help pass the time during this critical period. Once you successfully pass this step, you may then move onto Step #9: Counting your sculptures are limited to weekends only.

I'm sure glad I don't post to these things or people might call me addicted. Who me?

Probably the only thing more addictive than collecting is talking about collecting.It also costs less.

But St. John, you think we spend too much time reading the Forums, then you give us more Forums to respond to and more topics to think about. What are we to do?

Well, yes, it is addicting. While not mind-altering (in the classic sense), it does cause otherwise rational people to wax eloquently and ad infinitum about lighthouses to people who barely know (and may not care) what a lighthouse is. At least it's cholesterol- and fat-free (except during Reunions!!)

Compared to the alternatives, there has to be a better word than ADDICTION.

I'm not addicted, just a very determined consumer. (Determined to own all HLs made.)
