Isatmour, I apologize for offending you, I certainly didn't intend to impose pornography onto you nor condone porn addiction (for being a porn addict, I know that it is no laughing matter although I try to use humor to try to be honest and confront my issue). I guess I wanted to frame learning front-end framework as a kind of OCD/obsessive behavior similar to any positive or negative addition you or someone you know might have experienced and chose the "lowest common denominator" metaphor I could find: porn addiction. Again I apologize for this who may find it offensive or an emotional trigger. And for anyone who's reading this and have this issue, I def. recommend this book: "The Addictive Personality" (http://www.amazon.com/The-Addictive-Personality-Understanding-Compulsive/dp/1568381298/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391455317&sr=8-1&keywords=addictive+personality+understanding+the+addictive+process+and+compulsive+behavior http://www.amazon.com/The-Addictive-Personality-Understandin...) which has helped me understand and reform my behavior.

Thanks, I accept your apology, though in improvement, I would focus on your writing. Habits are hard to change, but what you write is public and read by others. A careful eye (try not to post before going to bed) and use of the Edit button on HN can go a long way. Remember that not everyone has the same life and interests as you -- all we can assume is shared here is technology and business, so anything outside those realms spoken here is ... uncomfortable. I'd feel the same way if you'd talked about changes in filmmaking or fabric. Admittedly this was offensive, but it was more the bait-and-switch unexpected nature of it. I'm agreeing with what you wrote, everything's great, then paragraphs get longer and suddenly--Bam! It's not about technology but how the world is changing too fast. That's where you lost me. ;-)
