In case you haven't seen Saints in our book, I requested from vroom and was granted the reduction of my uber-XP to mortal status. (It was odd to see You've lost 1000000 points! when I logged in. :-)

I've also had some other thoughts during my 24 hour hiatus. But I'll save that for another post when I've got things a bit more formulated.

I upvoted every reply to me, and took each element of each post to heart. There's a synthesis of the results that is very appropriate, and I'll share that soon.
