I think the big achievement, for me, was coming up with Step Two in 
this process; as the South Park inspired investment meme goes,

Step 1) [silly idea]
Step 2) ???
Step 3) Profit!

Except that Step 3 was "Lots of major sites become Consumers, at 
least enough to deliver messages between users." and Step 1 was the 
unknown; Step 2 being "Profit motivation!" (if users rather than 
dollars were the currency). The missing step of "WHY would large 
sites want to become RP's in the context of profit? WHAT rationale 
makes sense and will pass muster when they ask, How does this make us 
money?" has exhausted, for now, my ability to come up with decent 
ideas.

I'm not used to this whole "thinking in terms of profits" method ;)
