Hmm... not really, that's a good example for your side of the discussion... *HUG* hmmm... and virtual hugs don't do much compared to the real thing, do they? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think what they are saying is that as the one reading/watching they apparently feel more info/feeling is conveyed in the written word.
