Some would say, that your life before, must have been very sad indeed CarolC...I find it hard to believe that so many people (not just here) can out so much stock into the internet... ephemeral isn't a big enough word to describe it...
Cyberspace is a "consensual hallucination" as William Gibson put it (He's the guy who coined the term 'cyberspace', and then defined it best as "The place where the bank keeps your money") I'll keep profundity for the REAL world, thanks...
But to side with you in a way CarolC, I'll say again...
Do what ever flips yer switch, and leave everybody else alone....
