RE: VMs: Blanks

Right on, Nick. If I carry out your exercise, scenes from the movie version
of the Name of the Rose pop in. A bit earlier, I suppose, but perhaps
apropos?
I have tried, not too seriously perhaps, to think about the people who
generated the VM in terms of the characteristics of the text they generated.
B for example, seems sloppier than A; the pen runs dry, may not be properly
prepared or wiped. USW.

I suppose I'm really talking more about whether the attitude people project
(for whatever reason) onto the maker of the VMs may partially define the
answer they see - you might call this WYSIWYE ("what you see is what you
expect"). I guess this is why our personal psychodramas keep ending up
being reprised - we persist in projecting them onto the things (and people)
around us. :-o

As a quick exercise, close your eyes and try to visualise what the VMs'
creator looks/looked like - what (or who) do you see? What emotion can you
read in their eyes? And what does all that tell you about yourself? :-o

As I said, you can make of TA what you will. :-)

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
