nitishb: I have lurked in this forum almost the entire duration of this rather pleasant nightmare. And I am truly impressed by the spirit of community and the unrelenting generosity displayed by the folks on this forum. I feel privileged and humbled to have found this forum.
Thank you all for being who you are.
CatintheHeat: I conjecture that the people who play retro games tend to be an older crowd, and probably more generous, having a little more money to spend.
Very likely the case. Another plausible theory is that Retro Gamers, as a class, are just er... classy! ;-)
Okay, so, literally, right after I posted this, I saw Omegaunit's comment. I promise I wasn't trying to plagiarize!
