What's unique here is that you can't see the facial expressions, tone of voice, etc. which sometimes mitigate and someimes augment the words. That's an argument that it's easy to misinterpret what posters say. That is also true in 3D. It may occur more easily without the visual clues, but it still occurs both places. I don't think that point is relevant to whether posters are real people or not. As I said the last go-round of this discussion, I think the "real people" question is a red herring. I am so sick of this issue. I wish your "team" <g> would get off it and address the "real issue" directly, if at all.
