    PS &OT, today I went for a drink in a Social Club; it was
    astoundingly non-social, the other people were
    focussed on their mobile phones. So I did likewise.

    So that club is no longer a sutiable "medium for public
    discussions." Smartphones are joykillers, and social
    networks, ironically, great disuniters of people.

    the word "people" never made sense to me . . . plural for person?
    no such animal; each person is an individual, no "e pluribus unum"
