Yikes!!!

All of the above?

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Maybe the love for prog is a neurosis in itself

All I know is when it comes to prog (nothing else) I turn into an OCD candidate .. I must own everything I become aware thats out there that I need, and my CD`s must be in strict alphabetical order !!!

I'm like to say i'm not a nutter but anyone who has read any of my postings here would probably beg to differ.

Not fun suffering from mental illness. Had period of my life when things did not go so well and felt like I was in a black hole, minutes seemed like hours. It was scary stuff indeed.

More focus and attention should be paid to people suffering from these conditions, better support and more understanding in the community.

Gosh, wonder if this is my first serious posting on this forum (sadly it won't last...)

At least... I have 2 or 3 sickness of the above. But, talking about prog fans in a general matter... I think the answer is: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Just BE!

How this topic is dealt with gets down to how we can respect each other when we talk about it , so far its going well ... nobody is judging anybody infact I respect more people and understand them more through threads like this

The alphabetic order thing: I recognise that. And all the bands / artists with their cd's in chronological order. That's good old perfectionism I suppose
