OK, so the word "addiction" has obvious negative connotations, but am I alone - methinks not - in being far more than just "interested" in maths, and actually more of a border-line addict, always looking for that next discovery/fix...?

Of course you're not alone...I keep a syringe full of algebra nearby in case my usual dealer runs out.
 
(whispers) I'll trade you 3 full vials of Quantum Electrodynamics for a bottle of non-linear PDEs. It's a great value.
