Christ this bullshit jargon is becoming overbearing.
CyberAnthropology Home Page of Seeker1/!@#$%^&gobbledegookthingamyjig/
whosemibobber@www.htpml_ufo_gluesniffer@gradeschool.edu INDEED!
With a capital letter in the middle into the bargain. What some people
will do in their silly efforts to attract "research funding" to their
"projects" and credibility as anthropologists, defies the imagination.
NOTHING IS MEANT BY ANYTHING HERE WHATSOEVER!
It is all nothing more than the usual bunch of self-indignant fuckers
jousting away at one another as they always have done, here via bits
of wire strung between whole lots of computers scattered around the
planet.
Whereas in earlier days it was via two bits of #8 fencing wire strung
across the paddock. And before that via some messenger boy running
from house to house.
Before that with flintlock pistols at dawn . . .
Each "service provider" (as the concurrent blather would have it) in
turn making some passing sort of living at delivering other people's
messages for them.
