The New York Times calls about E2 (idea)

Every time someone from a virtual community has a brush with traditional media, these things happen:

1. They don't get the point
2. They omit vital information (like the URL, if it is WWW stuff)
3. They make the users look like freaks
4. They call the someone a hacker, or a cracker or both
5. They put the thing between a segment (article, clip) about Groundhog Day and one about "How to treat diarrhoea in children".

I have seen it happen. I was the someone. The virtual community was Little Italy. The traditional media was Italian state TV. They gave us all of five minutes, a modem that would not work and they had no capability to feed a VGA signal into their video mixer.
As I and my co-wizards were leaving for Milano, we said in a chorus "For this I went to Turin and wasted a whole day ?" --- and that was when we had a minor car crash.

Even somewhat more serious attempts like My Tiny Life don't quite get it.
