Surely no longer in exile :) Though FLIE is a nice acronym indeed...

so he is staying? Excellent. (I can't keep up...)

I just assumed... :)
Maybe we should have a Return from Exile Welcome Party at the oasis? Cocktails and palm trees galore.

I very much like

Wildcard's suggestion that we all become barn cats, even if Fearless Leader does not go into exile...

What happened -- :)

I saw your post in here and went digging through the ticket archives to find out what was going on. I remembered you asking at one point, and I thought it had been given the go ahead.

Soooooo, I asked about it, Langdon saw what had happened and he posted them.

There was no malice or ill-feeling in *not* posting them, just an oversight and mis-communication.

This past Monday,

HipyChik and I went out to the thumb in Michigan and did some shooting. The temperature was numbing cold (15F and very windy) but we had a good time and got a lot of images. I have a lot of processing to do but here are a few of them.

I completely believe you and that is why I'm not sending Bob and Jayson (The Enforcers) after you.

Yeah, so it looks like I'm coming back because how else can I use my Tutorial Discount?? mwahahahahaahahaha

oh, and I have one important thing to say. It is something you should all meditate long and hard on:

Men have hormones, too.

Don, glad things were resolved and that it was just an oversight. And even more glad that we'll still have our barn feline leader.

Hey guys and gals, I just got back from my very first weigh in at Weight Watchers. And I have to let you know I'm pretty excited. I lost 7.2 lbs. this week. And I really wasn't hungry. And here's the biggest thingy ... I don't miss my Coke addiction (yes, cola).
Woooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo.

Something fun to think about :)

Just had a look at the thread about whether a DPC revolution is about to start. Anyway, so...

Online communities establish. They grow. They establish norms, social rules, communication guidelines. Every once in a while those norms are overthrown. And the people form social groupings, those sub-communities form their own norms, there are arguments and conflicts of values between members. Misbehaviour results in social exclusion, whereas good behaviour results in praise, and personalities and relationships are communicated across.

The interesting thing about this, for any ambitious budding sociologists, is that online communities form perfect little miniature models of real societies, and all the social dynamics you get in cities and countries also play themselves out in full view in cyberspace.

A mistaken criticism people make is that "you're wasting your time on something that isn't real". Cyberspace is very real though. Real people, real communication, real dynamics. It has limitations, for sure, but it's not open to being shrugged away that easily. It provides real contact, and frequently, real support.

Anyway, some questions:
- What are the limitations of cyberspace compared to society? What are the limitations of society compared to cyberspace?
- What is the effect of the existence of cyberspace? How is it changing the world? Is it altering society in any way? How about human relations? Support networks?
- What is the positive impact? What is the negative impact?

Haven't a clue about the answers. It's a sociology study waiting to happen though :)

Anyway, just thought I'd share the questions...
