"it remains true that intonation, expression, gesture, and attitude, as evidenced by physical disposition, are valuable aids to understanding the precise meaning of someone's conversation." Certainly, that is not disputed. It allows us to detect the hidden agendas, faking, and attempts to mislead which occur so frequently in the face-to-face world which is fraught with negative consequences--from why one is returning an item to the store to why one is late for work (it is not because they were in the drunk tank for half of the night...but the boss may yet infer something of the truth...) "Finally, you are right, people do not cease to exist because they use aliases or refrain from face- to- face encounter" Well some would argue differently--but we agree on this.
