online communication
I wrote a long comment on the end of the last thread, starting with, "whew. caught up. prob time for new post?"

Sometimes I look back at my comments and realize I was missing some point, answering the wrong thing, or otherwise f'ing up. And nobody mentions it. (Mind wonders: Nobody reads my comments?
rickl > I just discovered that recently myself.
Oh, good. If I was stupid, I wasn't alone.
Since the days of BBSs and CompuServe, I have tried to maintain a liberal idea of the gender of text people if it's not evident.
rickl > I was pretty close. I guessed 50 comments when I went down to make another cup of coffee.
