It's pretty obvious, isn't it? There are so many losers in the world. There
are also so many idiots in the world. Makes a pretty powerful combination.

Sorry this is a bit off-topic, but it's been bugging me:  Can someone 
explain to me the reasoning behind selling online stuff?  No, wait -- 
what I really mean is, can someone explain the rationale behind *buying* 
online accounts/items?  According to my research, games are fun because 
you actually PLAY them.  What motivates someone to actively seek out and 
purchase in-game items for $100, $200, or more is beyond me...
