I am nostalgic for the days when we'd sit around our virtual campfire as if
we really knew each other, arguing interminably and sometimes actually
learning from one another about lost arks and holy grails such as social
identity, agency and social evolution, and postwhateverist
conceptualizations of historical consciousness. Spare me from having to
spend another lunch hour trying to accomplish work which I should have
completed last week. Doesn't anybody have anything controversial or
provocative to inquire about? Couldn't we just fight-out one of our
reiterative cliches once again - for old time's sake?
Or have we all become so burdened with meaningful and useful tasks that we
have forgotten to play once in a great while?
