Though I have never been a...Brilliant post, Lauren. Though I have never been an "alpha" for as long as I can remember. Have always been a geek; something of an outsider. But, like you, I have been accepted by all of the various groups, including the "alphas."<BR/><BR/>My mother, who was a remarkable woman, was incredibly progressive. She had the gift of seeing people for who they are <I>inside.</I> She taught us to do that. But here in cyberuniverse, the "inside" must be gleaned from what is written. And those manipulative or talented enough can create whatever shroud they wish.<BR/><BR/>What's funny, and what (of all people) Chris London pointed out, is that many of the "in" bloggers out there would <I>never</I> associate with their "fans" in real life. <BR/><BR/>As you so accurately explain, the internet is a free-flowing medium. We have no idea who people <I>really</I> are. This blogging community is sort of a "Breakfast Club" setting. Here we all are: a bunch of mismatched people forced to sit in the same "detention" for as long as it takes to make up for our "transgressions." But would we sit with the same kids in the lunch room? Would we snub them in the hall? Rather, would <I>they</I> snub <I>us</I>?<BR/><BR/>Again to steal an idea from Chris... Would be truly fascinating to have a "Great American Blog Out" event here in NYC. See all of these folks in real life.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the thought-provoking post. <BR/>Namaste.<BR/>~ClaudetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-1127780650853516392005-09-26T20:24:00.000-04:002005-09-26T20:24:00.000-04:00And by the way, I sure missed a lot today!And you ...And by the way, I sure missed a lot today!<BR/>And you are a bit unbalanced and nutty, and so f&#@ing what. <BR/>It is your blog.
