I'm not sure that "intellectual" is a term with any precise meaning, especially when used in a political context. One can find a perfectly adequate plumber in the Yellow Pages, for example, but would risk severe disappointment attempting to find an intellectual the same way.

Nevertheless, one's search for kindred spirits or those with common interests in fields normally associated with intellectual activity - philosophy, mathematics, literature, monster truck races and professional wrestling - is aided by the ability of distributed communications to reach an audience much wider than was formerly the case in the days of the typewriter and the handbill.

Welcome to FR. We've been at this for a long time now. ;-)
