:-) That's why they call us an echo chamber on some of the other threads. Truth is, we are just friends and we are friends because we share ideas and ways of looking at the world- that is to say we share exactly the same things folks on other threads share. Aside from the threads where armed camps fight, saying the same boring crap over and over, all the peaceful threads on SI are "echo" chambers- because if you aren't in general agreement on the big questions of life, you have very little chance of relating with another person- hence the name calling threads, where people use the same old tired insults over and over and over and over and over....and why? Because they just have different desires and ways of looking at things= and both sides want to call the other side "evil". So boring. I'm glad I could be your echo :-) Sometimes I get to be Cogito's echo or John's or Dale's echo too. Maybe my next name on SI should be Echo. I always liked that myth, btw. It's sad, but it's a good one. en.wikipedia.org I like the grisly version where she gets ripped in to pieces.
