Early on, a number of us were interested in what we might call "internet
weather," "network weather" - you could sense, by the delays involved,
how good your connectivity was. Delay operated in a number of ways; it
even played a role, I think, in (textual) netsex. Things didn't appear
immediate, imminent; the network was "felt" in relation to delay. The same
thing seems to happen on Fb messenger now, for that matter.
In a sense, I think the body is "besides itself" in this regard -
