1. Become very well-informed on William Shatner.

Isn't there options of other persons to be obsessed with? Neil Young, perhaps?

2. Post incessantly! (you seem to have that well in hand)

Well, that's obvious.

3. Give up having a life outside of this forum.

Wait a minute - many of us have lives outside Mudcat - usually it revolves around drinking, performing, belonging to a cult, writing poetry, etc, but they are all no less obsessive than Mudcat. And good addictive personalities can have (nay, SHOULD have) more than one thing to jones for.

4. Fight with other people over the Middle East, Israel, Palestinians, etc...(It doesn't really matter which side you're on, just give 'em hell! Be intemperate while you're at it.)

No arguement there (or should that be plenty of arguement?)/

5. Post incessantly.

Well, duh.
