I was just thinking of this yesterday. It's as if there isn't any kind of symbolism on the web. AFK, if I want to talk about apples, I can use the word "apples" and people will know pretty much what I'm talking about. But on the internet, if I want to talk about something, I'll just link to some other webpage that says what I want to say. It's as if, every time I wanted to talk about apples, I had to bring an apple to show people. Where did the meta go?
