Sorry, folks - we now return you to your regularly-scheduled program...

I half agree with you there...

They might express their true opinions from the perceived safety and anonymity of a Net forum, but in real life they'd probably edit heavily, if not lie or clam up entirely. See, it's different when it's up close and personal...

I'm here for the same reason you are, and if you're ever in doubt as to which voice is speaking, just remember that.

I was speaking of people with whom we interact on forums, not real world friends.

That's true. While what I present here IS me, it's certainly not the whole me...

Interesting... I've touched and smelled all my friends; some I've even tasted. On second thought, those I've tasted didn't quite turn out to be my friends...

No - only the ones who have no double standards are saints.

That's right! See what happens when work interferes with your better judgment!

Yeah. There are some whose lives appear to be wider-open books than most, but not too many.
