Isn't it though?

There have been times on the stock threads when I have felt like the alpha male or in contention to be the alpha. How weird! (People who don't see the "a" at the end of my alias and assume I am a man. BTW, there was early on a debate as to whether I am a man behind the scenes on the stock threads--I "think like a man" about stocks! LOL!!!!!)

It truly is a fascinating study, especially as we don't normally see one another so we don't get the usual facial and body cues.

Taken to its limit case (remember this term from philosophy courses), it raises all sorts of questions. Let's open this up on "feelies"--how a person's gender and sex may or may not show up in cyberspace. Most of us have identified ourselves eventually, but there have been some tragedies where the gender and sexual orientation were not identified. I shall not talk about these in public, obviously; but it should be an interesting topic where we engage our minds and emotional responses without geting lost in silly jousting.

Shall we start it?

Love,
Monica
