There is a cacophony of voices that is only sampled in this domain.       The posts are transforms in the frequency domain. The rhythms and tones of the BLOGGERS at the actual time that they compose their posts are a rhythmic periodic time function(the mob dynamic). The disembodied posts are point spikes(delta functions) representable by a Fourier Transform of the functions in the time domain.       The posts have no rhythm. The inverse transforms do. The posts are graphic plots in the frequency domain. Adam,
