Hmmm .. let me see..

* ... you understand what the term BABY really means.
* ... you have searched Ebay searching for a BABY to call your own.
* ... you have a BABY of your own.
* ... you've named your BABY.
* ... you're like a parent with your BABY in that if anyone goes to touch it
without express, often written, permission from yourself you have threatened
them with significant acts of violance.
* ... you know what the following terms or anacronyms all mean ... "DRF,
FASA, Plastic Warriors, BKK, HHH, TSS, BadKarma, SR, Bulldrek."
* ... you know the website address of all of the previous by heart.
* ... you know the names of the coordinating staff of each of those
websites.
* ... you understand the terms "Old Timer, Carp, Gurth's Stairs, Dumpshock,
etc..." all refer to and where they are used most.
* ... you can name all the DLOH in order and give the dates when they
changed hands accordingly.

I'm sure there are more, I just can think of them ATM...
