<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverWilliesCoinsdotcom, post: 2818791, member: 86795&quot;]Thanks, likewise I got snippy, which I apologize for as wekl. Very often though, text based conversations, and even worse, those now peppered with emoticons, emojis and modern mojo do not even begin to serve the needs and purpose of good old fashioned formal language based on the setting. Liken it to &quot;indoors voices&quot; for kids and other unspoken rules for spoken language based on the audience and participants, i.e. if you sit a nun down in the room it changes the whole mood and vernacular patterns, hell, even for the considerate atheist. Worse, online, we don&#039;t know who else might be following the thread, nor what hat they might step into the ring wearing. Add everyone&#039;s current mood and time zone and whether they shoot from the lip or not, and good luck. Yet, we are enamoured of the global bullhorn, even if all we offer is in fact bull. And there is no hiding from it, no immunity, it goes all the way to the Presidency, shudder. I&#039;d bet that you likely know this, but some people are not aware that the Library of Congress is saving everyone&#039;s tweets and has been for years with the intentions of indexing them someday. From what I understand they have run into a few snags and are behind somewhat. Imagine that. Should intelligent beings someday visit us, I hope they don&#039;t read all of mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
