I've "met" a lot of nice folks on this forum. I see "eye to eye" with some, and not quite so "eye to eye" with others but hopefully we all learn something along the way.
I've never met most "eye to eye" but have regular EMail contact with some, regular phone contact with others, and have even eyeballed a few.
Today I was thrilled to get a call from "Merry Old England". Rian Kemp (aka Grizz) called today to say hi! He utilized one of the "for cheapskates only" call services that charges about a penny or two per minute" for a call from the UK to California. CHEAP!
I have "Skyped" with friends as far away as Thailand.
With "transport" ("telephonese" term for carrying a long distance call) so cheap today, you can stay in touch and meet new folks for very little.
Cool!
Cheers,
Gus
