Slight thread hijack ....
This article has some good points to ponder. I miss the time not so many years ago when blog (or board) discussions went on for hours, occasionally days. Now it seems we all communicate in quick bites, if we even leave words behind at all, and move on. Have a few thoughts as to why, and, unlike most opinions I read, I don't think it is entirely the fault of social media.  But that is not the topic at hand so I'll wander away, having probably left too many of my own words behind.
