In one extreme case, a couple in Korea would spend 12 hours a day away from home on the internet. They would run home once a day to feed their three-year-old daughter. She died of dehydration and malnutrition.
Sounds like one of the Gedolim stories, where the Gadol stayed in Bais and almost dies becuase he was too busy learning to go home & eat. I like their strength of mind, even if it is misplaced. Imagine what they could have done if they were in the Bais Medresh instaed of on the internet!
The account of our slavery and delivery from Mitzrayim would take second place to the texts poking fun at the most meaningful aspects of the evening.
Instead it takes second place to useless pilpul (a pet peeve of mine).
