Fascinating essay, Syn. I know that the few times I've met people in RL that I've gotten to know on a message forum I've found them much easier to talk to than usual with new acquaintances.

The comparison to a snail-mail correspondence is interesting; I think that in some ways the Net bond may be even stronger, because the medium of communication is more immediate/informal/specific to the other's interests.
