A less spectacular demonstration would be to point to the timestamps in
VR 2.0 ... notice anything? the time between posts is measured in
hundreths of a second ... if you've ever been on IRC you know that the
represents some blazing speed ... (although I don't know if shadowland
compares to IRC ... more like a cross between RN and IRC and most likely
with a lot of posts cut out ...) I tried checking the difference in
timestamps in the conversation about Otaku in the Denver SB but they were
all missing (I only recently realized how low their Target numbers would
be ... Cripes!)
