When I think about CoV, I mostly think about sitting at the terminal
reading and typing. I do sometimes picture the person whose message I'm
responding to, similarly sitting at eir terminal. Generally it stays
pretty cerebral and text-based, not turning into any image of a meeting
room. Now that I've met several members of the congregration in person,
though, I do have images for them and a better sense of personality and
tone. Since the vocal harmonics lesson and first ecumenical council on
Saturday, I may start picturing us all sitting at a Mexican restaurant
called Mama's with pictures of Elvis and velvet bullfighter paintings on
the walls.

Personally, I really like the email medium for what we're doing. I like
being able to look back at old posts I've saved later on, and quote from
a post in my response. Realtime discussion has its merits too, though.
I'll see whether I can dig up the address for Post-Modern-CultureMOO.
Eva,
who did in fact find _The Mind of the Bible Believer_ at the library, yay.
