    <p>Another Good article Lee.  No doubt people will ridicule it though.  How dare you suggest that they don't swap money with internet randoms, and then give them refunds when they get jacked!</p>

    <p>The problem isn't just that people aren't treating their online accounts like any other money account (although Lee's 100% right).</p>
    <p>The problems are twofold:</p>
    <p>1) Since it's on the Internet, it doesn't feel like money in the first place.  It's like points in a video game.</p>
    <p>2) Since it's on the Internet, there's no real social interaction, making it far more difficult to filter out the degenerate thieving scumbags from people with some amount of honor and honesty.</p>

    <p>Lee, a lot of the complaints that Cake gets are a result of the FREQUENT crashes. How often do you guys have to refund people's money as a result of a crash? Several a day? More?</p>
    <p>Do you remember when you had to cancel tournaments for a week because your servers and software are so unreliable?</p>
    <p>I realize that your focus was on something a little different than what I'm bringing up here, but you're being critical of the stupid things that players do when you represent some of the least reliable software in the industry. How about focusing your time on fixing your software issues instead of writing articles about annoying emails that you get? How can I treat my Cake account like a bank when I simply don't know that I can trust Cake because of how unprofessional their service is?</p>
    <p>This is kind of a slap in the face Lee. You know how frustrated your customers are.</p>
