Welcome. Around here we discuss books, history, current events, home life, and other things. Politely. (And mostly with good cheer.) The idea is to share information and ideas, and help each other out a bit when we can.
Freud presented an interesting perspective on telegrams (among other things) in _Civilization and its Discontents_. Worth a look if you haven't read it.
I never got a telegram, either, and for some reason it feels like I got left out of something. It's a vague and tiny feeling of loss, but, still, well, I'm a wee bit sad to see them go. Maybe I read too many old books or something ;-).
I haven't read the Freud. Thanks for the recommendation.
Oh, and I never got to receive a telegram. Pity.
