I read your piece with great interest and with respect. But there is a greater aspect to the nature of the Internet. It is communication.
Some communication is utilitarian.
Some is art. Art is a form of communication that does require a sender and receiver, though the receiver may be only perceived and not real. When the communication hits the mark both the artist and appreciator are fulfilled. When it misses, a critic is born. My experience says that we are a long way from the Web becoming a true art form.
