The Truth Behind the Horrid Ratio: The Idiot in Me! ^^;;

I think that I should tell you guys why my ratio is sooooo terrible.
Its not because I "hit and run", well actually its partly because of it but its also because of my "idiocity"..
Reason #1: Where it all begun
Reading that we all should be keeping a ratio of 1, I started downloading like a crazed person. One download after the other, I of course checked my ratio here on the site and it still says its 1 so i continued downloading.
When I saw on my torrent window that my ratio became 0.001 i became happy. Finally I can clear it and start downloading another. I basically repeated this process on multiple videos I downloaded. Whenever my ratio became 0.001 I clear it from my torrent window.
It took me a while before I realized that 0.001 ≠ 1 and by the time I did my ratio has already dropped down to 0.01
.
YEAH!!! I can be that idiotic!!!
Reason #2: It begun to worsen
So I stopped deleting my finished downloads and started seeding. I did this for a week and I get happy whenever I get to upload no matter how little it was.
Then my brother used my computer without my knowledge and CLEARED/DELETED everything I was seeding.
As much as I want to seed it again I can't because I also delete the torrent file right after I start my DL and there was already too many to keep track of.
And now, what I'm giving up for lent is downloading the new stuff that is put in the tracker or any file for that matter.
Just seed, seed, seed.
I'm mastering the art of self control.
