The 54-year-old, an account executive at a New York online media company, simply couldn't tear himself away from the PC, even to eat:

"Computer forensic specialists from SUNY at Cortland discovered that Wanamaker was subscribed to 48 different forums and networking communities... They also found that he posted a comment into one forum or another on an average of two per minute every hour of the day for the past seven weeks."

(If you don't believe this one, how about the one about a young Georgia bride-to-be who was abducted by suburban kidnappers?)
