Shocking that the usual suspects have an issue with what I said.

Or I could counter with "shocking that the usual anti-market self-righteous prigs come in trolling the market forum."
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Ah yes, name calling. That'll teach me.

@Soilent Green:
To add:

about your commentary. It's more like the rest of us simply prefer them
to put typed (and entertaining) words to those feelings.
Further:

you might have realized that the thread wasn't an e-peen brag, but
rather a lament that even if you have 1B inf, it doesn't buy what it used to.
So, I'll leave the humility and discretion portion of your diatribe for the
excellent commentary from dave_p et al, and simply close with this advice
to you.

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.

Does this mean you'd want that I should take a picture of myself wearing a top hat and monocle and post it here once I become a billionaire?

So far, Solyent is absolutely kicking our a**es in terms of speed & efficiency. We formulate long, thought out logical posts to which he's responded with (in reverse order):

Sorry, I'm busying myself with making huge piles of virtual loot -- like was suggested. I don't have time for long posts.

You know what, Nethergoat is right. I think I'll go find ways to increase my real life bank account and stop obsessing over collecting more MMO play money!|

Stocks! Bonds! Commodities trading! Maybe I'll even win the lottery!!!
It's just that easy!
(No it isn't, but the end result is much more exciting!)
Second off, the point you've so grievously missed (and which I will now highlight and explain, as I would for a small child) is that only a dope wanders into a video game forum dedicated to discussion of its virtual market and then decries the lack of humility and decorum on display.
Because it isn't a humility and decorum forum, it's a forum about how to make a tremendous pile of virtual loot.
Do you get it now, or should I rephrase it again, perhaps in sign language this time?
