"This digital friendship is as inorganic as the computer that validates that friendship," Very interesting perspective, and while I get where you're coming from, I don't personally think it's that deep. People approach things from different angles and for different reasons, but when they ALL arrive at the same destination, who gives a hoot about how they personally decided to get there. As long as you don't hurt someone else in the process, I say do you - whatever and whoever that is. Thanks for sharing :-)
