Subject: RE: PC is NOT a dirty word!Proud to be PC!
I cannot tell you, Rick Fielding, how hurtful it is to me, as a helpful piece of HTML design, working all the time to bridge the distances between people, to be called a "blue clicky thing". I am not a "blue clicky thing"!! I am a vehicle to improve choice! I am a portal on the body electronic! I am a door onto a world of diversity! I am not a thing, I am a cyberspatial process!! I am not clicky, it is what people do to me that is clicky! I am being described according to the noises of other people's machines. I prefer to think of it as humanity pressing itself into my glorious linkyness.


Oh, Rick, Rick, if you only knew what heartgrief you have caused me, and many like me, innocent cyberworkers for the human good.

If absolutely necessary to refer to me at all, please refer to me as "indigo a go go".

yours in agony, Azure Gently (ex. exotic dancer, currently HTML command)
