What are "you" saying, in that header?

"You" start right out with a statement rife with logical errors.

Clearly you meant:

"I" will ask everyone posting on this thread to pretend 3 things:

"You" are not real (well, maybe "you" are; but "others" are NOT;-)

"You" do NOT have a body; or, at least, no"body" BUT "you" has one!


Need je say more, Solon?

Later....

(Je say "later," but there "time" in epistolary relationships? Can "time" exist, in letters? (These are letters we are writing to each other, of course.) If "time" doesn't affect the content of letters in the same way that it does the content of a 3D day, does that mean that the letters are not manifestations of their writers? Je am all confused.)

Does it help if I say "je" instead of the evidently perplexing "I"?

See vous later.

Je just had a weird thought.

Are the personae, or personalities, or intellects, one reveals in other forms of cyber communication "real"?

Are one's ICQ friends real, if one feels they are, for example?

(Of course one can be wrong about an SI friend, an IM friend, or a 3D friend. Time tends to make that clear.)

Later....
