Post #112,380 by bepatient 8/1/03 8:12:06 AM Reply	I think you've hit on it Its the friends to family in the "not so good" sense that is happening. And I know I would miss the people here, because they are friends. I consider everyone here a personal friend. I've had many to the house. I've met many others...including some who are no longer here such as Nick. Perhaps it has been 8 years of "lightning in a bottle". I prefer to think not...instead thinking that this place is truly an internet miracle...bringing together people that otherwise would have had no chance to meet in order for the friendships to blossom. I have and will continue to strive to meet as many of you in real life as possible...simply because all of my experience tells me that the experience is worth it. Enough sap for one morning.

Post #112,399 by admin 8/1/03 10:29:06 AM Reply	It's much easier to be offensive to someone you've never met This is a well-known phenomenon (studies have been done, even. woo.): the anonymity of the Internet breeds contempt. People will say and do things they wouldn't think of saying or doing face to face. I've made a conscious attempt to filter my online activities with this in mind. I'm not always successful, but I believe I've gotten better. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
