I'm dealing with this now, so it's on my mind. I'm going to be perma'd soon, and I assume I won't be able to not read a lot of the SE threads I post in currently, at least for a long while. I'd be surprised if I didn't eventually get back to reality and extricate myself completely at some point though. Similar to all the orig 2p2ers who used to post here when they played poker, but as their playing dwindled, so did their posting, and eventually terminated both. Should be an interesting experiment to see anyway.
