Always meant to post about that

I met Bill(bepatient) and his wife, and Hugh(hnick) a while back when Bill was in Cleveland. My wife enjoyed it as much as I did, and said she finally understands why I'm always talking about this place when I get home. All she knew about online communities was what she'd heard, and the little she'd seen, of AOL chat rooms. She never could figure out why I bothered. Now she understands that the people I know here are better friends than most of the people I just happen to live on the same street with.

I used to worry that maybe the fact that I could find people of like mind online would mean I wouldn't bother to look so hard in my "real life." I don't worry about that any more. Knowing everyone here has raised my standards for friends. If I'd rather talk to a bunch of people online than spend time with someone in person, that doesn't say much for that other person, does it?
