It is part of Matt's master plan to expand your (and other EDIger's) horizons. A bit of time here and EDIG will start to look good to you (or, if you were long, if might not look so good after all).
You do have one positive thing going for you: you are the first inmate in a while to post directly to Matt with his first post. There must he some hope!!
Edit: Oops. Looks like you might suffer from the dreaded, and often terminal, MPD. Do any of them like SOAP?
