This has been said many times before, by folks much more experienced in the "Net world" than I am...
We are a loving, caring, trusting and wonderful community here! Oh my but what it means to me/us to have friends with whom we can share our deepest feelings, joys, sadness, frustration, anger, and need for companionship. And to get together, share a meal, have a party
But please, please, be careful about divulging personal information! And, by all means, be sure to verify who you're interested in before you choose to move toward an intimate relationship.
I'll use Kate and me as an example. As most of you know, we met each other on this db. But, before she so much as IMd me, she'd checked me out backwards and forwards, and exchanged e-mails with people that knew me personally. After that, a few hundred hours on the phone, before we ever met IRL.
And, whatever we post here: a snippet on this post, a little detail on that post, and all of a sudden we look back and see that we've given away much more than we thought!
Not to be paranoid! But...
Please be careful.
Craig
