Does anyone know the origins of this phrase. I've heard it so long, I don't have a clue as to where it came from. I need a proper citation to keep a journal editor happy.
The only academic resource that I have ever come across, that uses this particular phrase, has been you, Professor Wellman.
I used your essay for a course I was teaching on "Internet Times and Cultures". Just in case you want the citation, it was
Wellman, B. (2001). Computer networks as social networks, *Science*, Washington, Sept. 14, 2001, Vol. 293. Iss. 5537, pg. 2031.
I would say, go ahead and quote yourself :)

P.S. If anybody does know the 'original' truth-sayer, please do inform!
