Its an interesting point you bring up. I will get the
UMRK on it right away.  Its funny isnt it, how much we
can tell about each other, just by the words they
write.  Its a very intimate sort of way of
communication --one who's (/?/personal posessive for a
machine process?/?/) change upon the society has yet
to be looked at qualitatively.  I remember going to
school just as computers were starting to become
useful -- no internet, not a lot of them around --slow
as hell, etc.  It may be that web communication, acts
socially, in a way that provides some validation for
some of the non-linear thinking thats gets expressed
in terms like "metaphysical" or "extra-physical"
communication.
