Well after posting here for most of the year, I would think that nearly everyone has seen a slice of my personality at one time or another, but you really do not "know" me, as is the case in reading any text.
We all think we are mildly intelligent and that we can read others personas from their comments, but the fact remains that we really know little about our online friends until they become real friends.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder especially where the written word is concerned!

What do you think?

I believe you are right where the written word is. Not the funny back and forth comments but the serious comments you make like looking for a Christmas present for your kids. This gives a more insight into your personality.wave

No one can ever REALLY know someone, other than to the extent that they wish themselves to be known,...

With time and exposure, you get to know "more" about a person,...but really, we are all "island universes", visible but never properly defined.

Yes, "online" friendship has its own set of characteristic values,....but really, if you do not place expectations on these "meetings" they can indeed be not only enjoyable, but rewarding. Life is a journey to be travelled with a smile and a seeking of adventure. And yes, "face-to-face" is diffrent than the written word,.....but it is only another facet of the person,......

Don't really know anyone although I met a few of you once at one of the events and I do have a cyber friend in Ontario who I am corresponding with and getting to know better. handshake

Some I know more than others and some I will know for life.
Been through a few rough spots with some and we've helped each other out,may not be in constant touch but that's when you see who ur friends are.
