Blogging as stimulus

This is more why I blog. The interesting dialog that might happen.

When I first joined the ‘web as a teenager and found myself on a pre mIRC chat client whose name i’ve managed to forget I naivily thought that the web would be jammed packed with people craving like I did stimulaqting conversation on topics of import. Religion, politics, social justice, wine, books. You know the kind of thing.

Whether I was looking in the wrong place of what or not I’m not sure. I was sadly dismayed (generally) with what I found. An awful lot of "A/S/L?" (age/sex/location), but none of the "old English" romanticism that I craved.

I felt similarly deprived at uni. I had images of sitting round a roaring fire discussing right and wrong with a glass of port being slowly drunk. What I got was valuable true. Just not what I expected. The roaring fire was replaced by a bucket of water!
