I'm an addict.
I wish I could YAGE like Alex, but I haven't a hope. It's like crack to me.
And lately, there's like six rabidly-active political threads, omg.
But like Wenchybeth said in one of them recently, or alluded to anyway ... it's not about debating the points and changing one another's minds. Rather it's all about discovery of each other, sharing our thoughts and emotions, deepening the sense of community and friendship.
Once in a while, it doesn't seem that way ... but mostly that's what I take away from it. Pfft, we're shouting to the wind if we want to effect political change by posting on the LoT. We're having discussions that reveal as much about ourselves as they illuminate any particular issue.
I'll miss the revelations of Alex. But, sheesh, it's a YAGE. He'll be back.
