I don't come 'round here as much as I used to, but even when I was a more constant participant, I never was able to understand many of the personality conflicts that mean so much to some of us.

In other words, I have no idea who might be the member(s) of this "protected class," and normally couldn't care less. However, when a discussion like this appears, I can't help but become curious.

In regard to the proclivity of some folks to "live their life online" and to bare their souls: I have always persued the oppostive strategy. I burrow into the computer and participate in discussion groups & networking sites largely in order to escape the trials and tribulations of my real life. I have my personal problems, but within the context of this group, no one knows about 'em and therefore they don't exist in this virtual reality. That's the way, uh huh, I like it!
