Yeah, I'm with ya on the parent thing... just hadn't heard it taken to that extreme before. Thanks, for sharing.
I also left your quote (for the benefit of other readers) regarding referral from game official, among others. This is one that many are not aware of and often overlook.

They tend to know the whole character and consistency of a player, seeing them in full game environments many times.
