Humans are herd creatures; even the most introverted of us tend to need communion. E-communities seem to be the latest manifestation of this herd instinct. You see it in the various e-groups, the bloging-cloging(commenting)thingy, etc. Even the
wife is into this
ephotozine thing. Communities;varied, but communities nevertheless.
I've always considered myself to be a bit of a recluse; but even i hang around the peripheries of various communities. The craving to belong and yet at the same time break away. We truly are the strangest creatures.
ok ok I've got way too much time on my hands...
