In the off chance your remark above was referring to Ed Dolan the Great,
the
only salient point is your "of sorts", but that does not really cover it.
There is no social contact going on here at all. I am merely using others
to
think aloud and in public to myself. Even Tom Sherman does not engage me
on
a personal level. How much less so JimmyMac! Nope, sorry, but all I am
doing
is talking to myself. That is what hermits do after all! You are welcome
to
listen, but never think for a moment that this detracts from my solitary
hermitage. Yea, the dogs bark in the night, but the caravan moves on.


Why don't you hop on that caravan and move on ? Dolan mistakenly

confuses physical with social. Social contact does not presuppose the
physical. In other words physical contact is not a prerequisite for
social contact. That much should be obvious to one who asserts that
he is a genius. Readers note the operative word "using" and draw
your own conclusions regarding how Dolan regards the readership. Also
take note of the blatant fallacy that Dolan is merely thinking aloud
publicly, but to himself. If that sounds incongruous, it should.
Since when does thinking to oneself requrie a public audience and why
should a computer and internet connection be required? The conundrum
continues.

JimmyMac does not understand what it is to be a hermit. Apparently, it is
too simple a word for him. Anyone who lives in solitude is a hermit. Ed
Dolan lives in solitude. Therefore, Ed Dolan is a hermit.
