I had a part in that so I feel a little bad about it - but not too bad as it's only a week and he knew where his actions might lead. He fought the good fight anyway.

I could understand that. Where would you/we be without our virtual e-friends? I'm at the stage of wanting to see people and find out what they look like and what their lives are really like. That would ruin the openness and anonymity of course but enquiring minds want to know! I'm intrigued by the concept of pouring out your heart and most personal stories and feelings to someone(s) on-line and then knowing that you could walk right past that "stranger" in the real world and never have any clue as to what you have shared with him/her/them. (BTW, how does your girlfriend feel about sharing you with all of us?)

Then I read about you. I haven't been able to think about much else for the last day or so. Too many good people going through such hard times.

I am very grateful to have found people I can talk to about medications, supplements and even feelings. Up until now I really haven't had that at all. The Internet is really a miraculous thing.
