And Mark, I think you confuse message board-addicts and role-players.

Or maybe we are addicted to roleplaying on message boards.
Or maybe we are just crazy...
or maybe both...

Mark,
You are aware of what Mark Twain (a.k.a. Samuel Clemens) said about statistics:
I suspect that the moderators and maybe a few other people must have been doing a bit of testing on the boards. If their posts were relatively short, they may be more sane than asome of the page long rants I have seen.
As for the sanity issue, mental illness is an issue that does not seem to be taken as seriously as it should be. Based on a few things I have read, RPGs probably have no significant effect as a predictor of mental illness. (Which would you rather have as a neighbor - on of the gamers you meet at the EN Chicago game day or the bus driver who decided to drive Pennsylvania school kids to the D.C. area on a lark. I will admit that I have seen a few gamers who need to learn about soap and water.)
You may also want to check out http://www.theescapist.com/index.htm for articles on roleplaying and psychology.

You're right Mark - clearly these people need to be locked away and studied so that we can determine what benefitial nutrients can be derived from their bodily fluids.
Er, ah, um I mean that is
Gotta stop readin this Ross Perot literature!

Hey! Let's just stick to the verified data that we have here in front of us.
Don't you go trying to derail this serious discussion of these people's obvious mental unbalanced as caused by this so-called 'game' DnD.
I know how you and your robot fish weilding gangs operate. I won't be a patsy to your games of 'hide the 10-geared wanking machine' again/ Do you hear me!?!
DO YOU!!!?!??!?!?!
