this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I just told someone the other day that Emerson was just a low-tech blogger, and that Jefferson and Hamilton worked out the Constitution and Bill of Rights over a low tech flame-war. Same shit, different century.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's true, Lee. Should that ever become useful.
What's interesting to me about the whole changes-to-how-people-socialize thing is that it seems to echo what happened around the Enlightenement and Industrial Revolution, when people started organizing themselves in Societies and Clubs based on interests (Natural History or Astronomy or Abolition or whatever) that crossed class lines and allowed people to form friendships with people who weren't family members or neighbors or in the same church.
Whenever someone says that some new thing is happening that is destroying society, it always seems to have happened before.

Yup. Leaving in mere moments. Getting ready took a little longer than I thought it would...as it generally does.

Art Crawl!!!
I have to say that I think that the reason this on-line community is strong is because people have actually managed to meet face to face and continue to do so on a fairly regular basis.
Meanwhile, those of us, like me, who have been unable to attend most of those actual meetings do feel a bit on the outside.

I still have to explain how I can care so deeply for people I've "only met twice"

If memory doesn't fail me I met sumi while doing the Once More With Feeling sing a long in Chicago. It was only a few months after I found this group. Ok, getting all sentimental now.

Dear Future Cyberarchaeologists,
Yes. This is clear evidence of "grouping". Yes, we were aware of it.
Now get off our lawn.

Sumi, we'll have to make sure to coordinate with you better. We should do another Chicago F2F, maybe later in the summer?
