Have you had to explain to anyone how internet friends ARE real friends?

[Rockman]

I haven't had to, but am fully ensconced
in the sensibility of what you ask.

It comes down to the *difference* between
those who to varying degrees share in the
bond of humanity and those who have been
conned into believing that they're--and we're--
merely burrowing mindlessly through life and
that, "nothing matters."

Think of it as our ancestors writing letters to one
another...only we're doing so on speed-dial.
