Of course the few responses have all focussed on the MICE (Ha,limp
bloody Ha!), not the real issues

Internet communication is incomplete by definition because we *do*
need crosstalk between all of our senses in order to think clearly.
(Descartes' Error) It's the way that our nervous systems are built.
And on the Internet, there's no vision (body language), sound, smell, or
touch.
The same applies to recorded audio performances. If it's true that
music is a 'language', I often wonder why music survives the absence of
other senses better than written communication does.

Cheers,
Bill
