I started my "online" life as a chatter about 9 years ago. I have made friends that I still keep in touch with till now. While I enjoyed chatting then... chatting now leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why cant one say... Hi. How are you? Where you from? instead of just the plain A/S/L sans the hello?
I agree with xeric. We can make friends in forums...as I have already.... and these people are people who have allowed me to pick their brains as they have picked mine.
