@TheGintheCity: You know, somehow the internet always makes me sort of happy. One day you log on to a gossipy website, and you read a post from an anonymous person who is posting something juicy not because it gets them any obvious gain, or out of any real motive, but just for the satisfaction of telling the story. And somehow, I understand and believe your story because there you are and here I am and we're probably the same and I'd probably want to do exactly the same thing.
The internet: making credibility out of anonymity using sympathy... how beautiful.
