If there is at least one person in your life whom you consider a close friend, and whom you would not have met without the internet, post this sentence in your journal.

So, yeah – I guess ought to count as a “close friend”!

I met Rob in Dallas, through a Usenet newsgroup called dfw.singles.

I wouldn't have been in Dallas if I hadn't have moved there because of a guy I met on the 'net.

I wouldn't have been on Usenet if it hadn't have been for that same guy.

On a related note, it's obvious that I'm warped because my introduction to Usenet was alt.religion.kibology. In fact, I made my very first post there as well.

Now it's time to go to bed and curl up with a book.
