Teen found after meeting his 42 year old WoW soulmate.
The teen was apparently unaware that the computer kept a log of his chats, and Ms. Kane read in horror as her son discussed meeting his much older girlfriend face to face and engaged in overt sexual discussions.
Ms. Price’s Facebook page reveals a middle-aged woman with a large collection of friends – many made online – and a degree from Texas A&M granted in 1988, before Andrew was born.

Gee, was WAR created by somebody who thinks people who disagree with him should be “burned at the stake”? Wait, and did that same article point out that WAR was developed primarily by inexperienced developers because they were easier to cow into obedience? Yes? Wait, literally?
