A quasar is like a star, very luminous and full of energy, but much further away than it appears, due to the red shift, etc.
I think of internet activity sort of like that. Close and immediate contact in cyberspace, but far, far away in real space.
But that just came to me when I realized I had initiated the registration process without thinking of a user name, so it's all a bit silly really.
