Knowing those 28 people means in theory I have the potential of 386,000 contacts. People I will never really know. Why one day on the post? Are you ashamed of it? Do you think we will be ashamed if we miss it? I did not and I am not.

Even with only 28 on each level, you have become part of a network of over 481 million people.

I met someone online a few years ago and we realised we worked in the same organisaton, if not the same campus. We met over a cup of coffee and discovered three degrees of separation already existed. My point, and I'm finally getting there, is whether we had changed the degrees of separation by meeting in person. Do online presences count? Do I really know you Max? You may not really be a little dog. Does that count as a degree of separation? You could even be Sean Connery for all I know. I suppose.<br><br>And when we've finished this subject we can go on to degrees of freedom.
