@gsuberland @DocBohn @golgaloth Stop labelling people! Getting sidetracked sometimes is not a disease. It is a personality trait. I'm lucky that the four-letter moniker did not exist when I was a kid. I would have been labelled for good.
@Ea5iyl @DocBohn @golgaloth I'm not labelling anyone. I have ADHD and am glad to have been diagnosed. It helped me manage it.
