I'm commenting on those who seem to have a *need* to "connect," which in my experience often reveals an inability to just be themselves, sitting with them- selves. They're constantly either trying to "connect," via phone, or text, or the Internet, or trying to distract themselves from their lives with some form of electronic entertainment. I guess I'm saying that the FFL posters I have the most respect for are people like salyavin and meru, who only contribute when they have something *to* contribute. They don't post looking for attention, as if they're terrified that their egos/selves will dry up and blow away if they aren't constantly responded to. As a general rule on the Internet, those who post the most have the least to say. I see no reason to exempt FFL from that general rule. > ________________________________ > From: turquoiseb <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2013 1:23 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Louis C.K. explains why people post this much > > http://gawker.com/louis-c-k-s-explanation-of-why-he-hates-smartphones-is-1354954625Â > > > > Fairfield Life Post Counter > =========================== > Start Date (UTC): 09/14/13 00:00:00 > End Date (UTC): 09/21/13 00:00:00 > 777 messages as of (UTC) 09/20/13 16:14:54 > > 106 authfriend > 93 Share Long > 55 s3raphita >
