Now I know online ones come and go, but so do offline ones. I keep in touch with good traders, because they either make or save me $$$.

Yes, of course so. People are people, whether they're online or offline. I'm speaking of friends, not relationships. It's impossible to conduct an actual relationship online. And with VoIP it's almost like they're right there with you anyway.

no, and anyone who says they do must not have any offline friends.
i don't think you can fully have a true friendship with someone unless you meet them. so if it's just online and there has been no physical meeting then i don't value it as the same.

No because offline friendships are with actual people. Online people are just virtual characters made up of 1's and 0's, silly!

No. I knew this one girl online for maybe 2 years, she introduced me to a lot of the metal I listen to now. I just found out that her whole online persona is made up, and that's she's really a man, baby! At least we didn't cyber.

how did you find out?
you do hear more of men pretending to be women than women pretending to be men.
yet another reason that meeting someone in person, or maybe webcam and phone is the only way you can establish a real friendship.

Other than that, I know that Ive never been to Austrailia and met dug777, but I know if he left I would be .
So yes, they are about the same to me.
What about you? :shocked:

"She" told this long elaborate story on another message board about being in a car accident years ago and screwing up her legs, then she went in to see a specialist to see what they had to say, and they told her that in x years or so, she "might" be able to walk again. But just recently, she was in the passenger seat of a car and they got into another accident and not she can't walk for good.
Then some of the moderators of that board found some inconsistencies, checked the logs to find she was online at xx time when she claimed not to be, that she did not log on while she was in korea, finland, etc, and that she was actually from Tenessey. Eventually they asked her about it, and then she told everything.
Wow, wtf.
