I agree with Jeff and Sarah's viewpoints. There's nothing like meeting someone and establishing a relationship in real life, circa 1980's (no Internet then). I think people do put on a front (not that it's bad) when they're on social networks or IM, but that's actually what I like about IM.
For instance, I could wake up looking like a tornado hit me during the night, go straight to my computer and start chatting (without a webcam, hee hee) and not be bothered by my looks. And I'm usually honest when I chat with my friends (you know who you are). If I'm pissed, I'll say I'm pissed, that sort of thing.
Back to hooking up with someone online: it's probably a thrill, especially with younger people and when you don't know what he/she looks like in real life. But as Sarah says, this is a crazy world, so let's be very careful out there.
P/S That reminds me, Jeff. Our first physical staff meeting in Hawaii is overdue. I'm a troublemaker, aren't I?
