I am open to new ideas, regardless of where they come from. I believe that Winston Churchill once said "The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.", and I feel that I would rather listen and evaluate the information, regardless of the source, than to ignore it and find -myself- a fool by failing to heed valuable information. I think we place entirely too much value on where an individual comes from, and what his or her experience is, and whether he or she is 'real', when there is absolutely -no- way of knowing this in the online medium. Our girl, sunshine, knows that we are real, because she is here with us, has washed our dirty laundry, has felt my rose-tipped crop and the moose-hide flogger. But not ONE of you knows who I am or where I came from, without having actually spent time with me. So how do you know whether I am speaking something that makes sense? You read, and you judge. You listen, you decide whether I'm a jerk or not, and you weigh my words accordingly. In the same way, if someone presents information that is clearly without merit, you read, you make a judgement call, and you dismiss the information to wherever it is that useless information goes in the Universe (obeying, of course, the laws of Conservation of Energy). No matter where a person comes from, there may be -something- he or she says that is valuable. Take the words for any value they have, and don't worry so much about whether the person is "real", "online", "virtual" or any other label that one wants to place on things. Lady Zephyr quote:
