I spent a lot of time getting to know people
on this network--at one point I was corresponding
regularly with ten or twelve people, and of those,
several came to visit me or I visited them.  Although
I liked them very much, none of them seemed to "click."

At one point, however, an article I posted got
passed on to a private mailing list.  One person
liked it enough to write to me himself, and invite
me to join the mailing list.  We kept up a steady
correspondence after that (thanks to the ARPAnet,
the turnaround time was very fast), and about
two months later we finally met face to face.
We got along even better in person than we
had in writing, and since then we've been
happily involved!  Plane tickets between our
respective universities are not cheap, but we've
managed thus far to see each other about every
three or four weeks.  And I don't think we would
have gotten as close if we hadn't spent two months
just /talking/ with each other.
