Didn't know much about this subject so I turned to the DSM-VI to find out some of the signs, as well as the features of advanced internet addiction.

Signs

    Message board posting
    Online games
    Tweeting
    Online porn
    Online movies and TV
    Skype
    Facebook
    Youtube

Those signs are pretty much common sense, but what surprised me were some of the features of advanced addiction.

    Whining about leftists
    Reading Sic-et-Non

If you know anyone with these advanced features you might consider some form of intervention, such as deep cave therapy, in order to help them.

I would be willing to do deep cave therapy, as long as you can run a wireless repeater to the back of the cave. If I can get 4 bars it's all good....
