I understand your frustration, keeping a friends list full of people who you've played with before sure helps and there's always communities like the Ladders.
Sadly, there's so many quitters threads lately I'm almost pro quitter at this point. Maybe they're just a misunderstood group of individuals. A "don't hate the player, hate the game" type. Maybe quitting is FUNdamental. Maybe it is more fun to jam out with your clam out. Maybe I just need to taste the rainbow of freshness. As Randy Savage said, maybe i should just step into it.
Maybe its all just a tangled web of a false virtual persona that my avatar won't be able to handle over time. He might crack, become a dumpster fire, and lose half his corporate sponsors, only to mount a comeback at Bay Hill in what will amount to record TV ratings for that tournament.
