Adam you promised you wouldn't tell.

So what you're saying is these 5 are so important as to what? Stop the
exchange of human interaction? Damage one's career? Hell FoRK has the
ability to sink a career. (I won't go into it, but think about it.) I find
this sort of pandering to the "rich and famous" for lack of better term to
be revolting. We are all members of the game of life. I still stand by my
statement that FoRK is nothing more than high tech Pro Wrestling. And Pro
Wrestling is an extrapolation of the society in which we live. And as such
has to be taken for the medium that it is.
