To me, it's very Pynchonesque: symbols on computer screens squawk at 
each other. I think seeing how some people could not accept things 
tainted by taboo made me perhaps a bit guarded at first, but now that 
all the cards are out, I see some things I love and some I don't. As 
as wise man once said, I'm still here.
