> I merely meant that the amount of your engagement with individual posters here is limited. It's been that way for as long as I can remember and there's no reason to think it's going to change. If one wants more of a personal relationship I think one is more likely to find that with other posters. Therefore that's more gratifying. And less complicated without the power imbalance.
Thanks for elaborating. I agree. At the same time, posters may find interactions with me ungratifying and complicated even if they aren't looking for a personal relationship with me. But that may be a learning opportunity.
