I suppose now when I "stumble" a site I'll be expected to type in something eBayish like "AAA+++++++ site, smooth, highly recommended!!!!!!!!!" |
Analogy with the highway is accurate. I once signed up a few years ago, deleted my account after a few days playing, and the other day friend tells me my account is still there. Stupid. |
