We used to go out to bars and restaurants to socialize. But MADD put an 
end to that.  The unintended consequences of that is people now stay 
home and socialize via the Internet.  I actually had someone ask if they 
could share my table at Starbucks the other day.  You don't know how 
unusual that is.  I figured they not be from California.

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.

It's human nature. And there's a learning curve. Plus everyone wants to

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.

This is fascinating.  For a guy who often boasts about what 
an interesting life he had, and what dull, drab lives others 
in the forum had, this is a new revelation.

I used to believe in that shit for a while, before I 
realised that it's just a schtick.

Then someone like Robin enters the room. The sitting Elenor McCabe with her 
bright and curious grin sets the curtain for the turq, as he sees himself pan 
out of view at the pencil sharpener. Then someone like Robin takes a seat up 
two, and 3 rows over from Elenor McCabe. Her shiny flowing strawberry blond 
long hair drapes her back with a noticeable twist towards this young man who is 
like an aura of Robin's presence. This Robin, turns lightly to smile at Elenor 
and she and the other girls in the class all enjoy that newly seated being. A 
stir is in the air. The Turq slows his pencil sharpening down and views this 
phenomenon. Walks back to his seat unnoticed, quietly except the shuffling of 
his feet to try the last trick the teacher will not take notice of, his call 
for attention.

Perhaps the Turq is reminiscing the days women followed the attractive men as 
he witnessed the feminine flow of grace and flowery scent towards a real man 
and as they, the female form, wish to only respond to that one man ie; kind of 
like we all do to Mr. Bob Price and Ravi Chivukula. 
Turqs posts are like that of sitting in the back of the class just behind 
Elenor McCabe, the girl who wore the tight form fitting skirt and the Turq's 
pencil always being held under the desk with two hands between his legs 
pointing at her derriere, as the teacher lectures of amobea reproduction and 
trying to listen as he contemplates his penceil sharpening as to what point to 
get out of his seat and walk past Elenor McCabe knowing he had his pencil 
protruding towards her for the past 15 minutes, what will his face be able to 
hide, upon his return?

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.
