I t's always cool to be a member of such a happening group where there's hundreds of posts. One says to their friends, "I have to go wade through 600 emails, oh man!" And they shake their heads nowingly. You're hooked up. What a netizen you are.

Tom > This ability to sort through the various interwoven yet distinct threads on FFL make it possible to construct my own personalized forum here. I read all of this stuff on the website, as I am overloaded with email already. Its no big deal to use discrimination and decide what to focus on. Gee, its kind of like the world at large, the massively beautifully complex world- what to put my attention on next? Just because I enjoy a skyscape now doesn't mean the trash should go away, I just don't pay attention to it. Its very existence doesn't offend me though. Viva FFL!
