race/ethnicity Caucasian (My mother's Dutch, fresh off the boat to Australia after WW2; my Dad's side is Australian almost back to the convict days, then English)
Where do you live? Melbourne Australia
age 31

Do you work? Is it a job that requires a computer? Yes, laptop, mobile phone, pager, the works.
What type of work do you do? I work in IT for one of the major banks in Australia. My job title is Technical Analyst. It basically means that when the systems break, I get called (anytime of day or night) and have to fix it.
Do you go to school? Post-grad (either Masters or MBA or second Batchelors) is calling, but I havent answered the phone call yet.
Are you single/ Married? Married. 2.5 years and counting. I think that means my wife and I are still classed as "newlyweds". My wife told me when we got married that 5 years together equals "success" (well, she is American ;)), so we're half way there. :)
What do you like most about your online group of friends? A few things. Common interests - SRD, great literature (fantasy and otherwise), intelligence and humour.
Has anyone dated anyone in the group of online friends? Not sure. (Dont ask dont tell, right?) My wife and I met on a poetry forum many moons ago.

How many hours a week do you work, if you do work? 50+ all of it online for work.
Any co-morbid disorders? Hmmm. Not sure what "co-morbid" means. For what its worth, I have ADD (inattentive).

There are many similarities between all of you guys who replied. Three that stand out is that you are all white (no offense), you spend alot of time online every day and you are all introverted types of people. Kind of interesting I would suppose. :screwy:

There is actually only one similarity that means anything, and its so obvious that it's not on the questionnaire...We all read the Chrons. That's why we got here in the first place. Everything after that was coincidence. :D
