letters

I'm having trouble putting together the login script and the forum on Dustin's webpage, and I was trying to read some forum posts to see if I could find some help. I guess that, due to something I was reading, I made a sad face b/c the bartender was concerned. As much as a bartender could be concerned. I wasn't really sad, but I got to thinking how things I have read on the computer screen have definitely made me sad in the past. And then about how strange that is. Someone somewhere pressed certain buttons in a particular order that caused all these little electrical pulses which caused certain letters to appear on the page, which were turned back into little electrical pulses that were sent to my computer and then reimagined as those same letters in that same particular order. I'm definitely applying ideas of randomness to acts of intent... And I'm anthropomorphizing they keys on the keyboard Thinking that somehow all of those interactions and conversions surely didn't happen perfectly. Something must have gotten lost. Or, perhaps more to the point, how easy would it have been to simply push four more of those buttons... "n-o-t-[space]" Or whatever it might have been. I have nothing particular in mind. It's not the first time I've thought something similar and now I'm sitting in the bar waiting on some stuff to upload so, I dunno... I figured I'd write it out. The act of pushing (or not pushing) those particular buttons in that particular order is so easy. Changing it would be so easy. And couldn't you... you know... just not push those buttons? The act is so easy, and the results of the actions of pushing buttons can be so... hmmmm... far reaching? E-Mail isn't really fair. People should be forced to use a pencil and a piece of paper for anything more significant than, "which bar will you be visiting this evening?" Excuse me... bartender? Another Guinness, please.
