All my posts and comments should be in puce, and they should be at the top of the page and blinking at a rate that picks up speed ... but then suddenly stops blinking. Then they should become engorged with font thickness but not kerning until they all become a blob of black pixels on a white screen. All other posts will be relegated to the "pay-per-view" section. Or perhaps not. I've yet to see a discussion arena online that really captivates me like a human discussion. I don't think it is the threading ... or the sort order or number of rings its rings have ... There is a cadence that text disengages while voices carry it. We don't write in dactylic hexameter or iambic pentameter because it is cool to do it ... we do it because our code does it. Language carries more than just insertions into a database can do. That is why I can't carry on digital conversations here. I'm too unsophisticated or perhaps too old to find a esprit de corps online.
