I agree, Georgia.  I find it much easier to be open in this forum than in person. I 
am not one to play headgames anyway, but have had those games played on me. I fail to 
understand why people resort to that online. I mean, its so easy to be oneself here, 
why take the more difficult approach of pretending to be something one is not?  I 
have met several people in person after having exchanged emails online.  It was not 
difficult to meet those people in person, because I had not mislead them in anyway. 
Granted, a couple of those HAD mislead me.  Fortunately, it was only a meeting of 
friends, and nothing more.  I guess we get caught up in the ease of pretending on 
here, thinking that cyberspace is not real.  Then when we realize that those we talk 
and write on are indeed real, its is sometimes too late to recant one's boastful 
statements.  In short, I find it very easy to be open, more honest..almost too much 
so at times, when exchanging emails online.  At the same time, I find it very 
therapeutic..relaxing, if you will, to find someone who wants to be open, with no 
strings and not holds barred.   
I'll get off my soapbox now..sorry to have gotten so longwinded..I usually just 
browse and not post...
Just my two-cents worth...
