Reply #14: Geez. Okay, you are a skeptic.

I actually spend a great deal of time at the computer -- and expect to spend more in the coming weeks when I understand I will be too tired for much else. For years I have done the content for a web page for high school students -- annotated links to sites that might be useful for homework, and I spend about six to eight hours a day online. I am an old newsgroup user -- even navigating the difference between alt.english.usage and alt.usage.english -- so spending time reading and posting is my version of leisure. I tone it down from the old edgy newsgroup tone, my concession to politics, but like most people I don't write like I talk, and I don't even write on the internet like I write when I sit to write something for a speech or a book.

As for posting about my high school, when I read through the posts, it was the only thing I saw that struck me as personal to me but that had not been in the news or on C-SPAN.

And what exactly is my "position"? I know that candidates talk alot about the internet but apparently you don't actually expect to see them -- or their families -- there. Well, I am here, and I have been here for a long time (back before AOL when Prodigy and Compuserve were the first ISPs), and I expect to be here for a long time to come.
