actually, i think you hit right what i was going for, albeit much more thoughtfully presented.
my knowledge and understanding of you is very intellectual, and from a totally virtual perspective. i've seen photographs of you and memorable moments, but who you are - the mundane, remains a mystery, aside from the small places it is shared.
95% of _everyone's_ existence is mundane to them. that is not to say that there is not something interesting to someone else, or someone else(s) within than 95%.
the parts of your inner life, which you share, are your voice in my mind. strong yet compassionate (sometimes to a fault). wise, but still susceptible to outrage. it is not about timbre or pitch, but clarity and expressiveness.
what i am trying to say above is that getting some of your true voice, through the bridge of that internal-external self, across the medium i have gotten to know you through, is a good thing. it enhances many of the perceptions i have, and challenges many of the assumptions i make - not about other people, but about how i perceive other people.
the short version: thanks for sharing, i'm a better person for having known you, even if my knowledge of you is totally imperfect.
