Keeping Up With My Correspondence

Dear denizens of the internet,

Nobody cares that you posted first.

Not the person who put up the original article/entry/video/whatever, not the other posters, not even your mom cares that you posted first.

You could travel the world, from Canada to South Africa, from India to Norway, from New Zealand to Ecuador, and still never find a person who cares that you posted first.

You could travel the universe--in all four dimensions--and you would never find a historical figure, a fictional character, a member of any alien race, or any of your future descendants that will be born before the sun expands into a red giant and swallows the earth, who has ever, would ever, or will ever care that you posted first.

Sincerely,
Rachel
