brings to mind the paradigm: "one cannot not communicate" ... if communications, 
networking, whatever is visulized as a flow of energy between the Self and the 
Other, that flow may be characterized on a sliding scale from 'not much' to 'a 
lot' of energy moving between the two entities. It is still communications, but 
the protocol that is being used to carry the energy imposes something of a 
band-limit on the maximum amount of energy that can be carried -- although that 
maximum differs between individuals -- some will 'receive' more energy via this 
particular protocol than others...
