Of course it's kind of difficult to hug someone over a flimsy electronic connection. I'm not knocking the net. I too have met many interesting people through systems like the net. However, I haven't been quite as lucky off the net. Most of the people I talk to on this thing I know I'm probably never going to meet face to face, and that kind of depresses me. It's not so much that there isn't anybody like net people any where else in the world. It's just that it's much easier to get to know someone here then any where else. (some of my recent postings say things I wouldn't say to some of my closest friends face-to-face, but I post them here for all the world to see. You figure it out.)
