You know what's interesting about all this group picture stuff?
It really does change our impressions of each other. The internet
is really depersonalizing. We will associate words and ideas
with names, when names are all we have.
But when we have faces, the person behind the name and
the words they write appears totally different from the
impression we have...
We should have our faces next to all our posts...
Of course, there goes anonymity...
So the internet helps shape society in ways we had not
intended. It takes a lot of effort to re-humanize a
communications medium, but the effort is always worth
it.
And yes, I'll bet Sarah looks terrific in her nurses outfit...

conversations and making grunting noises shows up in drag.
