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 probably own more go books than most people own go stones

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.

I swear at the computer screen when things go bad during a game. :shock:

-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

when i see an L19 post with too many diagrams or too much discussion of real gameplay, i just skip it
Spilling gasoline feels good.

I might be wrong, but probably not.
