Oh...  Yeah, I can see how that f**ks things up.  It is
kind of like the troubles of using an Instant Messenger--
it all happens in real-time.  That sucks up a lot more
time than talking on a phone, too.

As for reality being the ultimate game... sometimes, I
suspect, "real" pains may out-weigh any hopes for the
"real" pleasures, so, for those who are open to it, the
retreat into a world of limited pleasures *and* limited
pain may seem very attractive.

I want to laugh here but I don't think this is very
damn funny.
