A friend quoted "a French philosopher" to me today. It was in another connection, but it made me think of this thread.

She said the philosopher had said, "That may very well be, in reality, but it would never work theoretically."

I figure that in reality our letters to each other or to the SI cyber-community are, in fact productions of our (you should pardon the expression) "selves," ie are our own, personal character and intellects and reactions to the world; but to some, this doesn't work theoretically.
