In case some of you think I am mad, which I am, let me just say that Groove-junkie freely admits that Groove is not good for everything, not by a long chalk. It is not a panacea.

What Groove is good for is very intensive computer-enabled & enhanced relationships. That sounds awful! It sounds as if I am talking about enhanced imagery, which is a complete antithesis of what Groove engenders. It brings about truthfulness: it is difficult to keep up a lie for a long time in Groove. Getting into Groove exposes you for what you are. If you live a lie - stay away from Groove. Could Groove be used as a lie-detector? Perhaps that is pushing things too far.

What Groove is bad for is general dissemination of information to large groups. It is not good for intensive file-sharing. It can do file-sharing, and is excellent at what it does - but acting as some kind of FTP server, well use FTP instead.
