Community = a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OR INTERESTS and perceived or perceiving itself as DISTINCT IN SOME RESPECTS FROM THE LARGER SOCIETY within which it exists. [Not that many "regular" people "get it" when you talk about half-square triangles, flying geese and scant quarter-inches, do they? Don't their eyes glaze over? Not here!]. The geographical boundaries of community have been removed in cyberworld. Community also implies communion and fellowship, bound together by what we hold in common. And a community supports its members and works to help all achieve their potential.

Yep, I think you are my community. :D
