I hope it works for you and you find a good social network the way I was able to. The one silver lining I found is that now when I'm asked to believe something incredible I'm a lot more careful about finding out what is actually known. Even within academia what is promised or asserted is sometimes...speculative at best. I try to avoid being cynical, but still skeptical.
