| resident pedantissimo | Re: introduction Yes, we could have guessed that, from the location of the post. More, more – what do you read, write, view, play, what was the fate that drove you to these cybernetic shores? 'Satiable curiosity? Belike, but it enables me to customise my welcome, rather than just vaguely indicating that you are – welcome, that is, not merely in existence. Which is true, but not the whole truth. Reality lacking interest? A sudden enthusiasm for one of the subjects we discuss in such depth, followed by the realisation, on scanning a few random pages, that you'd discovered something better than reality, that was paid in the coin of your time… Ah, you hadn't yet thought of that minor drawback? Time is concentrated here; and, combined with the addictive nature of the place, that means your outside life will wither and fade, the rate of loss of memory proportional to the time spent in this strange environment, and its stranger inhabitants. But I wasn't joking about the fact that you are welcome. |
