Mr X may want you to consider this test:

You know you are a freebies junkie when you ...
have enough mousepads to carpet a small room

have 10 variations of a keyboard macro to automatically enter your name and address

can type the Web address of three or more freebies sites from memory

get depressed on days when only one freebie arrives in the mail

become frustrated several times a day because you typed your full name in a field labeled "first name"

have more than three free email accounts

keep a notebook with account names and passwords to keep track of all the free services you use

have ever used soap that came in a first class mail envelope

bought a color printer just so your Web-based coupons would look prettier

have ever ordered travel literature from places you never expect to go

use the search keywords "free sample" more often than "Pamela Lee" or "Brad Pitt"

have a music collection that consists of tapes and CDs of groups no one (including you) has ever heard of
