I don't mean to totally hijack this thread, but I have to disagree with this statement. One of my best friends I met online. We met through a yahoo group for one of our old fave TV shows. While chatting online we discovered that we had other things in common and started chatting via email, we then moved to phone. We talked for over a year via phone, email and IM before I got to meet her IRL. We are still very good friends to this day, but her being in a different state than I am makes it difficult for us to see each other.
I just state this story of mine because if the OP is honest with herself and whomever she is communicating with outside GC, I truly believe that those she is communicating with "know her".
But that is your opinion, so I'm not going to tell you that it is wrong for you to have the opinion, because it's not. I just happen to disagree with it
