Electronic communication isn't real?  You mean  there  aren't  real  people
reading this stuff?  It's just an AI experiment?  Perhaps you don't believe
in telephones, either? (-:

I'm getting pretty tired of the automatic assumption that  posting  to  the
net  is  prima  facie evidence that one has no other social life or skills.
Dealing with people face to face is what most of  the  discussion  in  this
group is about.  People don't just make up these stories ( :-) well, mostly
not).

Just because one chooses to spend some time in a  "safe"  environment  (the
net is safe?  You _like_ hate mail? (-: ) doesn't mean one spends all one's
time there.
