Judy: [nq:2]Ooh, the OCD part of me thinks that it would be fun if we all made lists.[/nq][nq:1]Michael did that, and i didn't find it the least bit "fun."[/nq] Well, yeah, but that was Michael.

Thereby rendering them a totally useless exercise - pretty much like I remember those statistics classes to be. ~~Judy

How about "obsessed with the newsgroup"? Although that may apply to most of us at one time or another.[/nq] No, I think that the person is question is more than obsessed with the newsgroup.
