Oh, there's a difference between forum friends and real life friends, that's for sure, see how I say 'forum friends' and 'real life friends'?
I doubt, for one thing, that I'd have the opportunity to make friends with some of my forum friends in real life.

For instance, I get on with Stropz very well, and like her sense of humour. However, she's thirty two and I'm sixteen. Even if we lived in the same area, I doubt we'd move in the same social circles, and if we did meet, probably wouldn't see each other as friend material.

That's one of the things I like about the internet, you have the opportunity to get to know people you wouldn't socialise with in real life.
