That's why I bought one in the initial sale.

At the time of the initial sale, I hadn't committed to DW. I wasn't even really using LJ all that much beyond commenting on other people's stuff. I've said elsewhere that if I had only had a crystal ball, I would have known to buy one then. :D

The account type is a statement

I agree. It just took me a while to figure out that it was a statement that I wanted to make.
