How long have I discussed the constant need for validation that exists amongst that fanbase? You know that when anyone visits, they literally overwhelm them with probing and leading questions until the visitor finally just caves and tells them what they want to hear so they'll leave them alone.
They'll then pile on to the message boards with their anecdotes about how so and so was visiting and they said that if they could they'd move to Lawerence, or that AFH was the singular greatest experience of their entire life etc. etc.
