Carranza, their obsessions grow. Some go right off the deep end as they age and they become cyberspace SI fiends, obsessed with arcane CDMA factoids. Some spend years ranting obsessively in SI.

<He is singularly focused on one fantasy at a time, the current one being pirates and piracy. The passion and energy for the subject is absolutely amazing. >
When he finds something genuinely rewarding as he gets older, he won't drop it. He'll make like Irwin Jacobs, a real CDMA wacko.
The pirate stuff is learning how to focus and figuring out how to do it all. The reward at present is self-reinforcing as he learns that by crikey, he can really get stuff organized, figure it out and ... well, now, what else is there... hey, look at Paul Bunyan!! Lemmee get a piece of that.
Well, that's my story and justification.
