Once in a while I get in BS sessions which are for the most part just that.
And it is a lot harder to deceive people when you try to do everything in writing and hope that people actually dig into what you are saying on the Internet.
Gary Corsair, the former Villages Daily Sun reporter dig into what I told him by doing a quick Google of my name which brought up some old e-mails I had sent to Snopes.com which they had put in the Tinfoil Hat section which I could not access to defend myself.

Small talk is aptly named. The exchange of ideas has always been cherished and does flourish within the written language. Very rarely will you remember a conversation from 45 years ago but I will always remember my two hour read of A Love Story that many years ago. Fictional people living and dying, a fictional story within covers of a book.
