:-) I see you on the USENET. I got a news server with local people, but
we speak Portuguese. Would you like me to create a local.foreigners
that speaks English? :-) It's a closed server. You'll need a username
and password, but you can change it once you're in.

I'd prefer not to write in a walled garden. And being the only alien
there would be a bit lonely. This one at least is public readable. But
maybe my mind changes somewhen. Usenet is small, our ways will
intersect again.

Yeah, the USENET is small once again. I convinced myself that
communities must be small. There's a number out there somewhere, which
is 150. So maybe communities should be around 150 members.

Every community is a walled garden. You don't belong unless you fit in.
The fit-in method is the wall.

Okay. We need to stop this thread eventually, so this is going to be my
last post. Thanks for being a good friend. All the best.

At least 150 or more to see... to be a USENET master is my destiny!

...Jokes aside, there does seem to be a critical mass, too few and
you can't sustain a community, too many and the community isn't
stable. On the plus side, for the USENET and ~verse, as long as one
person still believes in the idea, it won't go away.

Federation forever!
