I'll think on starting a thread about my experiences and those of others on IA. I've already received some hostile reception here from someone who suggested very strongly that I go with going into silence on IA this time because of my postings. As in shut up. I guess my recounting of the Israeli antics weren't entirely understood. This guy was blasting away the very excited emails for hours a day while in silence. You develop a great deal of pent up emotional energy on IA and the energy blowing off of people is something you can feel as you pass them in the lobby of the dome. Depression? An amazing amount. But think about it. This is self selection here. Until the international stipends were cancelled you had pretty much huddled masses from all over the US, (mostly the Eurozone) and Canada. People who find the motivation to give up their lives to come to FF and live in a trailer for months at a time trying to make a meager stipend last through the month are a special sort. There are some having a ball free spirits I admire for their innocence and stability then there are the many who appear to have not been dealt a full hand in life, the hangers on. I don't know if the clearing I heard about last year has been implemented. I doubt it. There was rumor amongst Dome spies (at least ones suspected to be such) that those people who hadn't hopped in years were going to have their stipends cancelled. I feel for these guys. Mind you I only know about one dome. Word spreads around the dome in waves that travels almost faster than the speed of sound.
