I don't want this to qualify as spam or anything, but I'm really only writing this blog entry to satisfy the quest requirement.  Does that count as abuse?  I guess it's really just a testament to how addictive it is to see a little icon pop up in the corner of your screen and see an experience bar fill-up.  The people who make games understand this, so I guess it was only a matter of time before the people who write about the people who make games to catch on.  Human beings seem to like immediate, clearly-defined awards.  I'd write more, but, like I said in the title, I really don't think anyone is going to read this.
