I don't know if someone mentioned this earlier today, but there's actually a "Phobia" thread on SI, and a link to this....

After looking at this guy's website, I have to wonder how there can be so much fear in the world...

But we aren't just typing, are we? We're talking to each other in sign-language. Some of us, like me, and you, are touch-typists, some use a variation of hunt-n-peck, but we communicate not only in words but in visual symbols.

You think something in your own mind, and say the words in your mind, and your fingers make the symbols, and I see a picture in my mind of what you thought. It's so amazing, and now with the Internet it's almost instantaneous. You are in Texas, I am in Virginia, and the other people reading are all over the world. I think if it wasn't man-made, we'd certainly call it a miracle.
