PSYCHOLOGY OF CYBERSPACE

    the mysterious "&lllaos"

    Thanks for asking that question. &lllaos is a glitch, and not a word at all. It happens when some people (like me, sometimes...duh) try to type quotation marks in the title of the message. In fact, you'll probably see three &lllaos's in the title of this message, since I tried to place quotation marks around the word &lllaos. I don't fully understand the technical reasons for this glitch... some kind of problem in the translation of my computer's character set into html.

    Is there a lesson to be learned about life in cyberspace from this little quirk?
