to meet offline those who one has first got to know online: a group of
quasiautistic introverts unblessed with great effusions of garrulity may
very well interact most satisfactorily and stimulatingly online, yet find it
heavy going if they come face to face. Hence when Isaac implied that he was
surprised by the success of his meeting with Basileus, I felt I understood
where he was coming from.

Actually, the meeting was interesting and quite successful, but I admit that
I suffer a kind of aftereffect/hangover - to much information was processed
in a too short period. It really presses the autistic button by stirring up
your brain.
