What a great thread...I too have to say that I agree all of the above.
I'v had the chance to get to know some amasing ppl on this site, but in saying that if I was to walk past this person in the street I wouldn't give them a second glance truth be knowen. I'm not saying that I am a snob or anything like that but I think we are all this way enclined.

This site has given me a chance to know a massive, worldwide, network off people from all different countrys and walks of life. I feel that even tho all these ppl aren't a visual concept, they are as real as I am.
