[pure-silver] Internet intelligence

Seems like an awful lot of guys who used to spend their pontification sessions 
on a 
barstool have found the internet and gone mainstream. Used to be, you just 
drank in a 
different corner, or went home. They've discovered how much more coverage they 
get at 
a typewriter. Now, jees, they're everywhere. Sometimes it seems like the only 
escape is 
either to hit the darkroom or grab the camera and head into a landscape.
