No, not rambling at all - I appreciate your response very much. I see that I'm not alone in my musings.
It is not a world we grew up with, but a world we were curious about and adopted. What a succinct statement! So, so very true. Maybe that's why I'm conflicted. I wouldn't have anything to do with online boards, chats, IM'ing, etc when it first became available, years ago. I was much too paranoid and, truth be told, indignant. It ALL seemed seamy to me and I was quite self-righteous about my refusal to investigate these new forms of communication. I sniffed at the idea of "online community" being anything other than a place to avoid real-life issues, flirt and troll for online sex
