Oh NO! How DARE they try to get more people to join! What on earth
are they thinking, getting thousands of people to put up tens of
thousands of CDs for trade! Don't they know that it's all so much
cooler when it's just you and your four or five buddies???
Or, more succinctly:
What's your point? I joined through a link that came through PC
World. There's probably one for readers of Teen Cosmo, for all I
know. Do you honestly think that *anyone* is thinking "ooh, special
secret club, lucky me!" when they see an invite to join a beta test?
Do you honestly think people are so stupid that we don't know that
they're in this for a buck? (They're getting their VC money from Bain
Capital, fer chrissakes, a company that wouldn't know from moral force
if it bit Mitt Romney in the ass.) Dig: we're getting used CDs for a
buck-fifty instead of $5-$9. That's why we're there. End of story.
