<Is chatting like this on the internet really more rewarding than sitting around, backs on the ground, eyes skyward, crickets chirping, stars shinning, exchanging ideas the old fashioned way?> LLL, what gets rewarded gets done. If people do it, they think it's the best thing they can be doing right then. They might change their minds afterwards, but right now, me clicking here must be the best thing for me to do...hang on, no it's not...thanks for pointing that out. I'm outa here. CU Mq PS: Not to lie outside looking at the stars shining...it's raining, dark and cold [it's winter].

>>Is chatting like this on the internet really more rewarding than sitting around, backs on the ground, eyes skyward, crickets chirping, stars shinning, exchanging ideas the old fashioned way?<< Merciful heavens! It's not either/or. The stars are still shining, the crickets are out there, the earth still smells sweet when the sun goes down, but here I am sitting in my study in Virginia, talking to Jay in Hong Kong, DJ in Germany or Slovenia, and other people all over the world. Yes, yes, a hundred times yes, I am happy to have my fax machine, and my microwave, and very very happy that we don't live anywhere near the mini-city my husband works in, with tall buildings and no grass. For one thing, the fax machine and the microwave save energy, so the environment is cleaner.
