Not to mention that the opposite direction would make just as much sense,
if not more. Seeing "from" the object "towards" the observer. That's how
the light travels, no?
(Also for signs and gestures, it'd make the direction agree with other ways
of getting a message. A letter travels from writer to reader.)

I can't figure out whether keeping all my friends in a tickle file would be
horribly impersonal or over-familiar.
