Funny old (small) world

As Rhys observes, nowadays we think nothing of exchanging e-mails etc. with people on the other side of the planet, but are suddenly impressed when internet communication is with someone local.

Humans are parochial creatures.  I think it's hardwired into us.

That's Rhys, who lives about 30 miles (50km) from my childhood home.  Wow.
