Yeah, Ricky's like the friendly ghost who occasionally appears and shares his wisdom with us on Misfortunate. He has a certain and strange omnipresence within the group, but we don't physically see or hear him. We may see pictures, but they may very well be fabrications. There are also memories of real encounters with "Ricky", but what are memories? Chemical reactions, that's what! It's hardly to be expected that he would show up at a random event. A lot of forethought and planning is involved in directly perceiving "Ricky" - similar to a seance.

Nonsense. His online presence is for all intents and purposes just as tangible has his real self.

I don't think you know what the word "tangible" means.

1: perceptible by the senses especially (BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY) the sense of touch;
4: capable of being perceived by the senses OR THE MIND;

You should know how I feel about dictionaries. All I'm hearing here is "You're right Dave, I don't know what tangible means. That's why I ran to a dictionary."

2. Capable of being possessed or realized; readily apprehensible by the mind; real; substantial; evident. "A tangible blunder." --Byron.
