A warning to all postwhores

[crayzayjay]

A WEST NYACK, N.Y. MAN was found dead at his computer apparently the victim of trying to keep up with too many professional forums. Childress H. Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company, died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner's office. Wanamaker's emaciated body was found by Loraine, his wife of 26 years, who told MediaPost she had been bringing her husband meals on plastic trays for weeks, but that he never took the time to eat them.
"He was glued to his computer 24/7," she said tearfully. "He was so afraid he was going to miss an opportunity to contribute a comment or start a discussion, that he just stopped eating." She added that Wanamaker's last words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..."

Computer forensic specialists from SUNY at Cortland discovered that Wanamaker was subscribed to 48 different forums and networking communities including one apparently having to do with the elderly called "oldtimers" and another apparently limited to just 100 people. They also found that he posted a comment into one forum or another on an average of two per minute every hour of the day for the past seven weeks.

Holy crap; unhealthy (to the max) obsession!

Subscribed to 48 forums and never let a thread go uncommented.

Can we create an E-Darwin Award just for this guy?

[lamehonda]

Why didn't she get help for the guy before he starved? please tell me this is just a joke.

As much as I enjoy the banter with the wide cast of characters here on AF. There is a limit to my involvement in these forums. I am close to death on a daily basis waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting for a thread I can post on. Even to the point of obsession, but at least I will take the time to eat a kernal of popcorn or two ...
