the world a letter

One interesting thing about the widespread geography of bloggers is being able to see (or to imagine seeing) trends of various kinds. For example, it seems that recently a number of poetbloggers have taken ill, with nausea and faintness, in disparate locations, such as San Francisco and New York.

I wonder if it is a general country-wide thing, or if, maybe, only poets are susceptible, or only sedentary, in-front-of-the-computer types, or metropolitans, or . . . ? Curious.
