> The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

I've found that usually when a conversation is going on, particularly in text format, much less information is conveyed than you think at the time.

An interesting thing I've done before is to go back through old conversations where I thought I really "bared my soul" about a particular topic.

Often there is next to no information actually exchanged. What I was actually doing was feeling strong emotions. They were in no way conveyed over to the other person.
