We make trouble, in a good way, by refusing to be categorized, pigeonholed or predictable. We're still struggling to grow and find ourselves. Obviously, I'm communicating a very clear 'us' and 'them' situation, perhaps because I'm so terrified of becoming like how I perceive them to be. A fascinating, powerful outcome of the internet is the opportunity it offers for anyone with a computer and modem to have a voice, to be recognized. Anyone can publish a web page that says anything you want it to say.
Geezers have their say.
On a much more basic level, they are recognized as people. The daily e-mails of TGB address a similar need, except the mail is personalized to the psychological and emotional mindset of the members, and it integrates feedback from the members. I am still important enough to get mail every day. A number of members said how much they appreciated being able to get up, go to their computer and get a laugh to start the day. Thanks to the internet, the circle of friends are available 24 hours a day, and keeps expanding in interesting and challenging ways.
