This was fascinating. We've talked about this before, but now I'm especially seeing parallels to other groups I've frequented, and other people I've known or almost-known. The paragraph about particular kinds of therapy was especially enlightening. I really like the way you think about this stuff, and I wish I could quote the whole thing other places! :-)
And I'd love to be a fly on the wall at a REAL-LIFE sacred cow barbecue about alt.callahans. Can't you just see it? Everybody all "pass the pulled pork" and sitting around reminiscing about the good times and the bad. Heh.
