"in here."
This raises an interesting question about reality and its virtual cousin.
Do I come here when I need to get out of here (where I am)? How many of you
view this place (in here) as a physical domain in your mental construct, as
if we are all together on a virtual vessel bobbing about in the sea of
electrons?

PS: This was a carefully chosen analogy. The only other one that naturally
comes to mind is: "as if we are all together in a virtual structure at Gab
and Eti's museum in Bullamanka." I didn't think all y'all wanted to crowd
in there, so I didn't go there. As for me, I just had the new olfactory
card installed last week in the PC slot right above the video card, and I'm
not ready for that test yet.
