Re: breaking automatic answers?

When you think about it, who a person really is is made up of both the mask and what is under it. A person's public face, so to speak, is no less a part of their makeup than their private self. You can tell a lot about a person just from how they present themselves, even if it isn't an honest representation of what is beneath.

Forcing someone to take off their mask when they normally wouldn't is basically asking them to be something other than what they are. While that isn't a bad thing in and of itself, the best way to truly see a person is to never force the issue and let them do it when the time is right for them.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
