Wow. I marvel at your little bit of knowledge, though, as it's certainly more than I knew. Do you happen to know what the ethernet and interweb are, and how they relate to the first two? That's been bugging me for the longest time.
An LJ-friend of mine made a post about that a while back, and we talked about how you can't just leave a comment saying "I read this, and I loved it, but I'm too slow right now to say anything clever in return". We talked about how nice it would be if we could just leave a picture of ourselves enjoying coffee and the livejournal entry and generally being a very attentive friend. We realized that no one would understand what the picture meant and that it would be worse, in the long run, than not commenting at all.
