I'll explain this real slowly, ok? First of all, there's this place
called "the real world". If you turn your head away from the terminal
screen, you'll catch a small glimpse of it.
In this so-called "real world", there are many and various interesting
things. One of these is called the US Postal Service. They carry
physical mail (ie, hardcopy) between users. And all this for less than
a cup of coffee. (so far)
This may seem wierd and counter-intuitive, but there are people that can
only be reached through this "physical mail" service.
Look around. You'll probably see a manual around there somewhere on
how to use this "physical mail" service. Otherwise, I think this is
covered in alt.real-world.really-slow-ways-to-communicate in the
infrequently asked questions array.

jcbourne (Juliet C Bourne):
where there is confusion, there can be no plan.
-----------------------------
everyone seems to have a set of rules which other people must follow in
order to get along with them, whether as lovers or just friends. once
you learn the set of rules for a particular person, you're all set. you
may not like the set of rules you have to follow to deal with a person,
but if you want to continue to have a relationship of some sort, you
must follow them. or convince the person that they should change their
rules or allow exceptions. for many people such changes in their rules
do not come easily, if at all. thus, there may be no way for you to
achieve the kind of relationship you'd like with someone because their
rules block it. this is one of the most frustrating things about
relationships and the cause of much pain.

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting no where fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part
his words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
..History will teach us nothing
- Sting
Nothing Like the Sun
