No, it has to do with the fact we're on the Internet, I don't know who you
are, and you don't know who I am. Not really.

You are isolating one statement and not addressing the larger issue--that
in addition to being a medium that invites and almost demands fraudulent
presentation of Self, the one-dimensionality of the Internet limits
communication, abolishes irony, and destroys tone. Aside from that, it's a
great place to order Viagra and go do you shopping on eBay or Eddie Bauer.
