*The 'net: A Level Playing Field* Whatever your A/S/L n the world, once you are online, everybody has the potential to be equals. The structures in the non-Internet world like family, school, work, parents, bosses, government officials, leaders, followers, all *dissolves* and people become *impossible friends*; friends that could not exist in society because of social expectations, are commonplace and simple online. It's marvelous and why I never get tired of the 'net. With translators, I have friends who don't speak my language and I don't speak theirs.* Not a word of English?* No problem; I have a translator for that. That's why I live here as much as possible.* It's my world.
