Then you quietly accept custom X-mags from members, no "threads" involved, and then dissapear off the face of the earth with markers so uniquely custom that you can't sell them but you can play with them at smaller fields where they won't be recognized (plus they're mags, which frankly the mainstream player won't recognize as stolen).
I don't like that theory, but it's like those rich guys who pay theives to steal Picassos and Rembrants and stuff. They know they can't sell it, hell they bought it, and they know they can't hang it where people will see it (even friends and family). It's about knowing you have what others don't.
