++++OFF TOPIC++++ Some on the thread may find this early analysis of net interaction to be of interest. It is more than somewhat dated, however intervening time serves to provide validation of some of the points made, while other observations now seem wildly whimsical. shef.ac.uk Talking on the Internet, people regress. It's that simple. It can be one-to-one talk on e-mail or many-to-many talk on one of the LISTs or newsgroups. People regress, expressing sex and aggression as they never would face to face.... ========== ...Another boundary we lose on the Internet is status. A famous New Yorker cartoon has one dog telling another, in front of a computer, "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog." With precautions, nobody can tell whether you are male or female, young or old, nerd or body beautiful, the company president or the mailroom clerk.... Regards, Leo
