I was being silly with the captive audience comment in any case
  smile emoticon And come to think of it... I'm usually hiding
  from people who want to spend time with me, so I have a strange
  bias on this one tongue emoticon [I haven't even opened Skype in
  over a year, Kik since last February... one of the travails of
  social networking. I'm honored by their requests but I guess I'm
  a bit rude. Sometimes I'll remind them, "Hey, you can talk to me
  in a public forum"... and they're a little sad... so I guess
  that's what prompted captive audience honestly tongue emoticon ]
  === My nice calls me "The Wizard of the Woods" 'cause I'm always
  here on the porch with my computer but hardly join in with
  people drinking and stuff anymore at the house. My brother calls
  me a hermit - I guess maybe I never left that monastery - just
  took it with me tongue emoticon
