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.
