But that has *always* been the case - maybe not on the internet, but there are plenty of games
around that take only a few minutes.  Pick any card game, for example.  No, when the internet
exploded so did Cat23 and now all the chaff is gone on to other pursuits and what we're left with
is what we started with: those who actually *like* the game as opposed to those who are just
curious about it.

That and the "victim of our own success" thing that Ray mentioned.
