1000th Post! in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 27 2003 02:15 Profile Homepage #16 While I find your use of emoticons in that reply profoundly unsettling, the sentiment is appreciated. I really wish I had something to say right now. Hmm, let's see. Well, I received medical confirmation today that I almost certainly don't have skin cancer, which is good for me but not really a brilliant conversational topic. Eh, might as well get all nostalgic. I've been associated with the BoE community (originally on Aceron's boards, then at the Lyceum and Arena) for five years now. It's been a year and a half since I was coerced by friends (hi, Alec!) into joining the "official" SW boards. As such, I arrived in the later days of Misc, back before people (for the most part) came to their senses and stopped creating political and religious topics for the express purpose of sniping at each other (no offence, Alorael!) Perhaps some of you expect me to long for the days when and all the people I originally knew were still here, but I don't. I've seen old members leave and new members welcomed with varying degrees of warmth. We're still a community, and a community is not defined by any member or group of members. We would still be the SW community without Alorael or Drakey or TM or Alec or Djur. The ship of Theseus is a well-known metaphor, but it hardly applies in this case; new members do not and cannot replace those who leave, but instead contribute their own unique personality and knowledge, to the enrichment of those who remain. Our community is something more organic than an artificial vehicle, despite the very medium through which we communicate being more artificial than a ship, which at least may be made of wood. We are more of a slime mold of Theseus in a Petri dish, growing on some fronts as we die back at others, coalescing and dividing constantly, foreign particles falling on us and affecting us from outside the scope of this environment, the whole and its component parts all reshaping with time. So with all that said, in what sense are we still the SW community? We are, because we say we are, and because that is what we wish to continue being. ... Wow. That ended up sounding even more wanky than I'd expected. Oh well. I'm just posting this because I have something important to do and am procrastinating.

Not sure what the situation is where you live, but here in Australia you can get an international money order at any major post office and all you need is the appropriate amount of cash. Of course, if it gets lost in the mail you've still lost whatever you paid for it. A cheque requires you to have a bank account and may involve higher fees, but you don't actually fork over the money until it's paid to its intended recipient. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
