Ach...take a squint through the backlog if you can find a couple of minutes. If you have anything to say - fine. If not - also fine.

You really should join in! We're on whether Usury is necessarily a bad thing now. My Marxist take on it is 'No and Yes'.
Yeah, yeah! Dissertation.

I've been following along. In the meantime:
William Gibson is credited with inventing the term “cyberspace” and then saying “there is no ‘there’ there” (Gibson 1989) (He was quoting a remark made by Gertrude Stein about Oakland, California). However, h2g2 and other web communities make it clear there is indeed a ‘there’ there. However, by 1995, Jones (Jones 1995) was able to say that online communities can be no less “real” than physical communities
Other commentators, even quite early ones, point out that the internet is just another way of brokering real interactions between real people. Rheingold (Rheingold 2000) says online communities form when people interact “with sufficient human feeling to form webs of personal relationships”, (Figallo 1998) draws attention to the “feeling of togetherness, familiarity, rituals and relationships”. Hagel and Armstrong (1997) (Hagel and Armstrong 1997) talk about enabling people to come together “free from the constraints of time and space [to] form meaningful personal relationships”.
 You typed all that with a straight face?

I particularly liked Figallo's "feelings of togetherness, familiarity, rituals and relationships". One word, three syllables: Nighthoover.

Ah, yes. The ties that bind.
Or is that 2legs?
