M - me
O - other person

M> O: Yes. I'm just confused.
O> M: I'm just very confusing. :-)
M> O: Well, that, or I just spend most of my time in a semi-perminant state of confusion.
O> M: No. You're a high-powered highly organized technical professional. We never get confused.
M> O: Um. We don't?
O> M: no. Uninformed outsiders may think that we're confused. But we aren't. :-)
M> O: Oh. Um. Am I an uninformed outsider, then? :)
O> M: No. You're One Of Us. Haven't you checked your ID badge lately?
M> O: Dude. I've been assimilated!
O> M: Yeah. Aint it grand?
M> O: Does that mean we're all telepathic with each other? *that* would be scary...
O> M: Yeah. There's lots of people I *don't* want to know what they're thinking. . . Oh, and a few who I don't want to know what I'm thinking.
M> M: my thoughts would be like a virus, infecting everyone else. But, that probably means everyone else would be more or less constantly amused, *too*. :)
O> M: you're talking to yourself again. :-)
M> O: Yep! And I didn't even notice.
M> O: Hey - we're borg, you are *all* myself!
O> M: But my thoughts would be like a virus too. Hmm. This could get messy.
O> M: Isn't it "we are all ourself"?
M> O: Uh. Yeah. *looks shifty eyed* Stop correcting my pronouns! ;)
O> M: Pronouns get complicated here.
* M has brain pain due to pronouns.
O> M: Hmm. Maybe IRC is kinda like selective telepathy. Imagine IRC where you didn't have to type.
M> O: Eek! Then I'd be talking to myself constantly, and everyone would see. :)
O> M: Only those people who were listening to that channel.
* M ponders her brain as an IRC channel.
O> M: No, your brain is an IRC client/server. It can read/write multiple channels at once.
