This is the second cyber-community where I have met in 3-D some of the people I have communicated with on a forum. There are some people I feel I can "connect" with,(whether I ever meet them face to face or not) others whom I would like to meet, thought doubt we would hit it off. there are some I would love to follow around with a video camara for a few weeks, for various reasons.There are people I know whom I met first in 3D but formed a friendship through e-mail and forums. There are others whom I met through electronic media and then face to face.
And there has been the occasional time where I have "known" someone for a while and then found out they were "so and so" ; again, in both directions....3D to cyber and cyber to 3D.
