I have no regional community. I live in a certain place, but my servers are not here, my collaborators are not here, my customers are not here. What is "here?"

- ScottWhigham 16y agoI don't buy that. You do have a regional community. You may choose not to participate in it or may not wish to but you do have a regional community. I would venture to guess that you are fairly young to make that comment as well and also have no children. Once you have a spouse, children, parents who need support of one kind or another, your idea of "community" becomes centered much more in the real world than in this virtual world.
- MrMan 16y agoI meant community in business, work. I am middle-aged, with children. I do not make money from the community in which I live, I make it globally. It is an accident, not a matter of choice initially. I choose to keep it that way because I find it liberating. My work environment is spread between clients, algorithms, infrastructure, all global. My network of family is thankfully centered around my physical home, and my network of friends is global. Sry to go on at length, but I found your comment provocative and I wanted to paint a clear picture.
