Exactly. People are people are people, they come in all different types,
but for the most part active members of society aren't the type who would
cause intentional harm to another. That's getting into the fringe and
unless someone is good at putting on an act (which MANY are), you will
probably know or have indications when you are nearing such danger.

Yup. I've had my fair share of an internet relationship, even so far as to
meeting the person on a trip earlier this year - split between AFOLs and her
family. Still dunno where its going though....

Of course! We'll definitely have fests out there, and I gotta play Brikwars
