You're way wrong about software as a lark. I worked with Dave when he was at NeXT. I was consuming DBKit code about as quickly as he could hack it out. I don't know many people better at building or more knowledgeable about designing truly innovative technology.
I mean those guys in Scotland can grow two kidneys at a time from cloned embryotic stem cells. And you get a bunch of saleable mutton as a by-product of their process to boot. Bet the economics work a lot better than what these guys are doing..
For an example of virtual economies affecting the real economy, I suspect that Albania ca. 1995-1998 is a pretty good example. They completely disconnected their banking system from the real world and ran it as virtual economy with no controls on bad behavior.
So why smudge the guy's email address in the top pane of the address book, but leave his email and PHONE NUMBER in the bottom? :^)

So who's this Jean chick? Chretien doesn't sound like a good name for a porno star..
