Daily Question

[drewbear]

I was going through some old emails (why in the name of all that is good and sweet do I have email stored from 2000?!) and I noticed something odd, which prompted the following question:

How many people have you known online for years and years, and consider a good friend, and have never actually met face-to-face?

Just off the top of my head, ginmar and valarltd here on Livejournal, both of whom I've known for at least 4 or 5 years. There are a few guys elsewhere that fall into that category, including (until just this past May when we first met) blaireaubougon. This isn't even counting the people I may have only met once or twice in real life years and years ago who I keep up with online.

Four years, almost exactly. We met in 2005 (my last fall at the Library O'Doom)

I have several like you that I've never met.
Some like charlesks I haven't seen in a decade or more. Some like Naomi I've only seen once.
