let's take your contributions to this thread as a case in point . . . as i
read
each of your e-mails, as especially as i write this response to them, i
construct

The experience I have not knowing any of you - faces bgackground anything...
I just see points and views and statements inside of threads that are
intersting or engaging.
I try to make note of names so i can try to quote properly, but it is the
statement and idea that
motivates more than anything else; these are the things I am scanning for as
I filter through the threads. I am greatful for the collective, but since I
am only electronically communicating without any true social interaction I
can't really do anything with the author.
Similar kind of disconnect I have with all the human deaths lately. Getting
the info from horrible news venues kills the connection. To try to make
myself feel better, I avoid television and photographs.
