I don't know why you were downvoted, I think you were spot on.

I'll bet that a lot of history's great letter-writers were introverts. Much of this sort of collaboration took place over weeks and months instead of seconds and minutes, and took place asynchronously.

I'd be willing to bet that many early members of the Royal Society were highly social introverts - Society meetings satisfied their need for synchronous collaboration, but most of their work was done alone or in small groups.




i usually get votes down for humor ...but i was most serious in this case. im an introvert, was a fidonet node and an avid BBSer.
