Getting craxy here, but still willing to assert it: non-meat-space relationships are at least as valuable as online relationships.
Sometimes, the flesh lies.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yeah but you are saying it more entertainingly.
For a start, they're not growing beards to keep them company on those long, lonely nights.
Incidentally, Gus, I told my brother about your beard-growing theory. He suggested women could grow out their armpit hair. Can you believe he doesn't have a girlfriend?

Well ... He could probably catch one who pets her armpits in public.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hey, popsicles were not on the tour!

Yes! She'd be distracted!

I love my brother. He might not be able to wrangle it, but he's trying to book a flight down to the parents' at the same time I'll be there, for just a couple of days. He'd bring the nephew. If he manages it, we're not going to tell our parents. Total surprise. Mom will PLOTZ. (and then freak out because only one spare bedroom is made up for guests, but we'll do that for her.)
I really hope he can manage it.

My hypothesis is that any community that has been online for 6 months or more will result in meatspace friendships among some members.
Yep. Convergence is the annual net.goth meetup. It started out with people from the alt.gothic and alt.gothic.fashion newsgroups, and spread to LJ and various gothy message boards and forums. 2007 is Convergence 13. (And holy mother, am I glad that Seattle didn't actually win the vote for it. We would have thrown a really cool event, but none of the organizers would come out of it with their sanity.)

One for the eagles among us: Can an email reception be admitted in court?
A client came to me with this question and I had no answer. My guess was that you needed at least a facsimile of a signature ... then I got lost in the whole "what is a facsimile" thing. Then I went into my English-As-A-Second-Language thing.
