Ah well - at least it's all taking me closer ot addict. (Am I an incipent addict here, or an inchoate one?)

You make a good point, shanks. Since addicts are renowned for showing a depraved indifference to the means used to quiet their cravings, we should expect similar conduct from AWAD addicts, nascent or otherwise. As the monkeys on our respective backs grow ever larger and more insistent, we should expect to see ever more shameless skulduggery in pursuit of the next fix.
