Why is it that I get this message, when It's been several minutes since I hit 'reply' and submitted a comment. Strange cookies...

Some guy with the eBay id of 'motorbikeboy' sold a Slashdot account for $152.50.

I was curious which accountname this could be, so I did a little digging:

- Paypal ID is pnedick@yahoo.com

- Paul Nendick pnendick@yahoo.com is well googled.

And then I realized that I really need to get ready for lunch with friends, and this is just one of those dumb mental tangents we all get stuck in, so I quickly gave up.
