excellent topic!
my thinking is that at this period of my or your life, if someone is paying you to sit in front of a computer and they have either built in or not accounted for down time, then it is their fault you have found the FT!

USE IT, get the money and get miles!
when you lose your job or I lose mine, well, we will not have the fast interent connections anymore to post and so the addiction will slowly die away, maybe.

I have tons of down time but can always bill to a sort of general department code at the office for things that are not "projects"

I think that we have THIS addiction but I know some with others like games, sports, news and other stuff.
So be it. We are humans and hey, miles aint bad. If you boss gets on you, REFER HIM to something where you both get points and he will be happy with the free ticket he gets becaus eof you one day!

If speed is not your thing, distance may as well be. Enjoy and embrace it all!
