Terry,
Maybe you are speaking from experience, but I believe that cold turkey is
the way to go. You have to cut and run and not look back. Sure, there will
be withdrawals. The habit of sitting down to check your email and
immediately looking for TT posts will be difficult to break. But with a
proper support group, and some worthy diversions, it can be done.
Another approach is to buy the TT-SENTRY! software package. For a mere
$29.95 (and $5.99 per month, charged to your credit card) TT-SENTRY! will
scan all incoming and outgoing email for the address
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and immediately destroy them, automatically
unsubscribe the sender from TT, then log the user off the machine, and
restrict this user from logging back on for 24 hours. If this automatic
procedure is invoked more than 5 times, then on the sixth occurrence the
hard disk is wiped clean.
However, if the above two measures do not work and breaking the TT habit
proves to be an overwhelming task, a loved one can call 1-800-LEAVE-TT, a
critical intervention hotline, and for $599.99 the moderator will personally
come to your house with a sledge hammer and smash every computer in your
home, including cell phones and PDAs capable of email access. This also
includes a 1-year membership in TT Anonymous...a 12-step support group for
recovering TT subscribers.
If none of these measures work, the next step is electroshock therapy.
However, due to the delicate nature of this procedure, TT provides only a
referral service to EST practitioners. Some former subscribers have used
self-administered electroshock therapy with limited success.

Having been moving for the last couple of days, I just got a chance to sit
down for a rest and browse through TT. I am dismayed as what I see. I
wonder why I have been wasting my time throwing pearls before swine here.
The answer, of course, is that I dearly enjoy reading and sharing posts
with
the kindhearted Believers on TT. But the truth is, in real life I would
never associate with the toxic people I find here. I don't need hateful,
nasty people insulting me or my friends. I have so many delightful
friends
to spend the precious moments of my life with, and so very much to
accomplish. Life is increasingly short, and I am convicted about spending
it
wisely. So dear Lance, jd, and Gary, enjoy insulting me to your heart's
desire while I'm gone. I'm giving up TT for New Year's. I hope the rest of
you will email me often. Love and Blessings and a closer walk with Jesus
to
every one of you, Izzy
