Those were the fanatics.As for the ebay money.. well, adults with enough cash will always find silly stuff to spend it on. Is it really any different than the guy who spends thousands for tickets to the Super Bowl?From a social standpoint, it IS interesting to me that a growing number of adults today are sticking with hobbies developed in childhood and adolescence (RPGs included), rather than taking up golf and bridge. But I don't particularly think that phenomenon has the dramatic negative overtones that she gave it either.Carl</blockquote>
