		<description>When Z gets here later, I'll have to take greeting friends to the next level.  Then we'll take LAN parties to the next level.  And then Z can take pummeling me to the next level for posting this :p</description>

		<description>"Skill based system, I guess? Or maybe neither..."

It's not that there are no levels, there's just no "next" level.  I see it as a smooth gradient.  What comes after gray, but before black?  Gray of a slightly different description.  Actually, that's a pretty accurate portrayal of "taking X to the next level", historically.</description>
