All will defend you if flamed because you are correct.  Personally I do
use the net as an escape,  I use it for informational purpose, I use it
for day to day communications, I use it for business, I use it for
everything.  The net is what you make of it.  I think this thred
originally started with someone complaining about a lack of real
conversation on the net.  As for that, you are either looking in the wrong
places or talking to the wrong people.  I have made more close fri3ends
and had more 'real' conversations with people over the net than I probably
have in real life, which is somewhat pathetic, but don't blame the net,
it's you.
