I apologize for being a little bit to short last days, which can lead to
misunderstandings.  First, I didn't want to trivialise mental disorders as the
World Health Organisation is calling mental diseases nowadays. This
renaming should yield more acceptance for persons concerned but trivialises
mental diseases IMO, since this kind of diseases can cause severe suffering -
especially because they are not as easy to explain like e.g. a broken bone.

Second, I mixed up reports by two friends with similiar problems both many years
ago. One of them reported this special "extra payment" I mentioned, the other
not. Since I have my own experiences with medics from my first profession as a
male nurse this reports just fits into my picture. You will not belief how e.g.
heart surgeons talk about smokers when they belief to be under themselves. My
opinion is that there a sound number of honorable ones, but a sound number of
black sheeps too. The problem is to tell them apart. So a reference by other
people concerned or a second opion is needed. I know this is a good and a bad
advice, since if one has severe mental problems it is hard enough to go to the
first person.

Third, I think that any kind of addiction (to the internet, gaming, drugs or
whatever) is only a symptom of a deeper, underlying problem, which has to be
revealed.

Fourth, I was concerened about loosing a friend here and as all I noticed Joergs
activities here were sparse within the last months and could not explain an
addiction to the internet causing a mental disorder. But than I googled about
Joerg and found a lot of things he cannot eliminate from the net so fast (or
ever) and now I understand him.


Joerg, if you ever read this lines, the POV-Community is concerned about POV of
course in the first place but you can discuss a lot of things within the off
topic group. Not all of course, but within the internet you will never find a
better community. But I think you know this...

Best regards,
Michael
