"When you meet people they can slap you, really. Here people can only write a post and hope you slap yourself with it."

Well, of course. That is what I have been trying to tell you--LOL! People can only slap you if they are within a couple of feet of you. How real they are has nothing to do with how near they are to you! People move around! Somebody who was close enough to slap you yesterday is in Cape Cod today! Many on SI have met one another, but they are only within slapping distance for a very short time, I would think!

Your idea that people are not real once they lose the ability to slap you is gratuitous, interesting, amusing, and very very unique...:-)

I gotta get outta here for awhile. What a fun day! You were so interesting. I thank you...
