Except, he really doesn't seem to make the sort of capital he could,
off it.

I know you guys know Terry a lot better than I do, but I think we're
looking at apples and oranges here; OMike (who I've known for more than
three years) measures victory differently. Remember that OMike's a bit
of a troll himself - he's smarter and he has real world friends (and I
think he's gotten laid at least once), but I don't think Terry's the
only one of the two having fun.

The guy's day-job is as a cellular phone salesman in a suburban mall.
(He also does other stuff, but that's the source of his primary
income.) Think about the sort of personality that'd do that for
multiple years - and *enjoy* it.
