There have been Lofasos as far back as I can remember. No offense to the 
current incarnation, I find him entertaining, to say the least.

You are correct, technology has changed, people haven't, for the most part. 
One could argue that online networking has brought out the worst in some of 
us, but it's done great things by bringing people together that would have 
never been able to without tech.

Given that this message will make it from the California coast to New 
Zealand in less than a day makes it all seem pretty nifty from here.
