I bought All about life and death vol 1 for 7.50 GBP when I knew they'd advertised it elsewhere at 75 GBP and didn't correct them ... Go really does corrupt the young (ish). Actually still feel a little bothered by it over a year later.

If you ask SE whether you should continue your second malkovitch against MagicWand I'll be happy to forgive you.

I do tsumego like other people do sudoku. (In fact, I enjoy doing problems much more than actually playing the game, and rarely play compared to doing tsumego.)

Half of the time I spend "studying go" I'm thinking about an L19 post.

-Playing weak bots for easy wins.
-Using SE in games on KGS via offline game view.
-Occasionally looking at a joseki dictionary while playing.
-Not always saying thanks at the end of a game (I feel worse about this than anything else.)
-Expecting to win games I know I shouldn't and then getting mad when I lose.
-Sometimes refusing games if I expect to lose.
-Hardly ever playing weaker players.
-Cheating on Go with Starcraft: Brood War

Not sure I follow this one: are you saying you played out a situation offline to create the impression you had mad counting skillz? Or claimed a win you possibly didn't deserve?
