Yeah, true. It's hard to keep stuff going when it's going so quick. On hubski, there's a lot more time to make something interesting or to expand on stuff.

This gets me wondering though. A long time ago, some people would correspond by letters, sometimes for years and years before meeting the other person, if ever. Just imagine, two people who fall in love through correspondence, but then once they meet, they just can't keep a conversation going. How crushing would that be?

Or what if they had a really annoying voice, or they smelled bad or had dead teeth? I guess the present-day predilection for nit-picking in regard to dating or even making friends doesn't come out of a vacuum . . .
