I think I have to think of it as not real because I tend to lose emotional touch with non-on-line friends, and then encounter them in person and BLAMMO find out that we're just as close as ever.

I miss the boards - like gymrats here. It's fantastic to be called on you own personal bs. I do better when, though it hurts at first or at the time, I'm held up to a bullshit meter :)

Funny about those people - I didn't realize but it does make sense.
