I have this idea in my mind, whenever I post
anything to
Everything, or a
newsgroup, or a
message board, or anywhere
online, that one of my friends from
offline will turn up there. With any of my close friends, I'm sure we'd have something to say about practically anything the other posted, and arguments would certainly be more colorful than they would with someone I don't know offline - you can insult someone that much more online by referring to events that no one else who will read your words knows about. There would be the potential for great
hilarity or great
catastrophe.
When I wonder about running into people from offline online, I'm not sure if I'm
hopeful or
fearful. With all the recommending I do of websites and such when I find a cool one, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.
