Default Fiction: The Cult of AV

I never meant for any of this to happen… the pain, the suffering… I thought I was doing the right thing. That I was being a good steward of my money. I had no idea the web of intrigue and lies and… worse that I was opening myself and my family up to. I just had no idea… Me, what’s left of my family, we’re all in hiding.

Questions, questions and more questions. Who fits the bill as the a/v demon? Who's the excessive poster? Which are the ID companies? Are these composite characters gleaned from Audoholics? Rod Serling couldn't have done it better. Scary, but true? This calls for some deep soul searching. And a trip to the shrink

The internet is one of the most advanced tools and the most useful, but one must know how to use it. I have learned from experiances dealing with others and their lack of resourcefullness when it comes to using the internet, it is almost as if they can't use it.

I liked the story, it had a pulpy aura about it, good storyline for The Twilight Zone. You know a bit paranoid.

Read that you had some trouble using E-bay recently, Seth=L?
Ha, just kidding o.k.? Just jokes, man, just jokes. No need to get mad (oops, now I've done it!!)

Good story Tom, I always enjoy your little literary excursions. Some times it's quite startling where your imagination takes us. It was your imagination, right?...

I was just having first timers cold feet..., with Ebay. I got a little impatient with the Paypal thing as well, they don't give you any direction, they just assume you will know how to use their stuff.
