Recently my friend Paul told me I was a social addict. He said that in a non-extreme form that might just be a 'type' and not a 'bad thing'. Anyway, perhaps I'm a sociophile, or at lest a hifidelity-phile. At any rate, if I had a car I'd frequent other places and cultivate a variety of tdiffernt blood-types. Quequel, it was so good to read your response. I used to like Març's PLANET EARTH LOCATIONS installments. There were quite a few of them on the old boards. By the way, the other day I was reading through the old boards and really enjoyed some of the past conversations. It's a valuable way to spend one's time. It will refresh you in concepts and ideas the group has shared in the past. The main thing when reading through the archives is remembering not to post on them. I enjoyed some of Jonvon's dreams, and many other things which people shared. I guess if I could turn into anything, I'd like to become some component that gets lost in a network somewhere that could encourage communication in all parts of the network. This would not be an obsessive task. It would not mean that everyone had to be chatting it up all the time. I mainly want to maximize the FLOW of the conversation or communication (whatever form it might take) and keep it going at a heatlhy pace. I would want to do this while others were unaware of it. I'd want to do this like a tide creeping in, or like night shade passing behind a billowy curtain or something. No one whould have to know. But, eventually, people would mingle and be more daring and more direct and more friendly. I hope that I can inspire that boldness in people and I don't mind if they call me vampiristic or whatever. It's really not something I shy away from. Somebody needs vamp it up sometimes. I hope that I can get better at that.
