Connectivity

It was pathetic to see. The fags were hanging on the message boards. Each one put out a line, no one nibbled in a meaningful way, except to condemn or commiserate. On and on it went, page after page of firing blanks. Even if it was a numbers game, no one had taught them about the law of diminishing returns. Desperate to hook up, they viewed each other’s posts with a mixture of déjà vu and contempt. Not one of them had the courage to cut their losses and walk, never to return. They were on the web – caught in their own web.
