But technology should be engaged by many different view points, in
order to insure that the output of technology is within the, not only
the grasp of outsiders, but the scope of those who wish to debate it's
usage in many different areas in order to have stability of the
society(societies) that produce the output.

That's common on mailing lists, and the discussions they maintain, as
well as the usage membership.

Then it's part of, but the only side of, your public persona.

Don't be a little bitch, and respond. Instead you're whining about it.

It's called information overload, and temporary insanity...go ask a lawyer list.

A medical condition which can be cause by many different factors, and all legal.

And depression inversely correlates with amount of

This is more seasonal depression, and human biological adjustment to
circadian rhythm in nature that appears in several areas.

It always does, it's biological in nature for this to happen.

Probably me, and you have no idea what I'm not saying when if not
drinking I have severe nerve damage...that would probably blow your
own little itty bitty mind, so deal with average intelligence on your
own.

Open mindedness is what the internet is about, if you can't be free
with emotions and internal vectors of molecular thought freedom, then
you might want ot move out of the way of the New World Order.
