Okay...since you've asked (and thanks for expressing interest!), here's my motive: To connect with other intelligent, insightful souls on this forum with whom I can engage in debate, thereby learning more about them and about myself. Connecting with people in a meaningful way--emotionally, intellectually, physically-- is the only thing of value in life, of this I am convinced. I know too many people who have amassed great wealth, and are among the most miserable of souls. This forum posting, as well as the posting of my images and their accompanying thumbnails, provide me an unusual means for revealing who I am, and through your response, who you are. I've enjoyed connecting with both xenophonz and elizabyte, (and others). I suspect I'd enjoy having coffee with elizabyte. I suspect xeonophonz and I might continue to antagonize each other in person, but perhaps in some weird, mutually constructive way. Thanks!
