Man, the whole game of LJ Hot Potato fascinates me to no end. It's such a weird-ass service, but it keeps getting caught up in these stupid internet gold rushes. I'm no business guru, but really, if you're looking to, like, "increase shareholder value," LJ seems like a bad call from the get-go. I'd call it a better candidate for a co-op that pays fair salaries to its officers and re-invests the rest of the profits, but I don't know if that kind of operation can scrounge up Internet Gold Rush quantities of cash to buy the thing in the first place. (Or if there are even enough people willing to take full-time work as co-op officers.) Well, maybe it'll happen if the economy stays in the shitter.

And caffeine tolerance is a funny, funny thing. (Also, black tea has a special danger aaaaaaallll its own in the form of tannin poisoning. Too much coffee out of nowhere can make my heart feel weird and explodey, but I actually consider tannin nausea to be worse.)
