I await DBI (Direct Brain Interface)so I can get this straight in and not have to rely on imprecise words to communicate my intent. I am about as far from Luddite as possible but that does not change facts. If we are to have a strong community we can nor break into smaller groups to do it. It has to do with societal dynamics and core human behaviours, not a bit of tech in the lot of it. > well, what about websites, you don't like those either? because using > your logic, one had to go to the website/page, the page does not come > to you. ? ? ? ?No, they do exactly what they are intended to do. They are like a book and the nature of sought knowledge, as opposed to community, is to be available after some labour (even opening a book or scroll is a labour). But, unlike forums, they do not demand you sign up or log in. Websites may point ways to community building but they are outside the meme so not germane to the discussion > but like I said, You win > Your logic is unquestionably correct > I hope that you feel vindicated now ? ? ? ?No need for vindication. Facts are facts regardless of who communicates them. ? ? ? ?At the same time no need for personal attacks or sarcasm.
