precisely the advantage of 'netting is that you can really voice your disapproval at said dickhead, rather than being forced to maintain/feign politeness

Yes, it's a very, very good book. I was most pleased with how rich the language is, despite its translation.

It's been in my Amazon shopping cart for two years now. I think this may be the motivation to finally buy it. I'm obsessed with Carthage, and I've never actually read any Flaubert, so I figure it's win-win.

Forums will be that beautify & communication will be so amazing that everyone will blow in their pants. (the pants bit is speculations, I cant actually predict that this new breed of super species even wears pants, they may all just wear cathoders & use their own poop to power their everyday living appliances... "Time to use the TV?" "Yup, just do a poop in the slot son, that will give us about 2 hours worth of crap". "thanks dad, mommies pooping in the dish washer again". *a clunk outside* "Quick to the barracade, the ewokes are invading again, I don't want the head of my penis decapitated!!!")
