Well, there’s Airman Doors and MsRobyn; TruePisces and Verrain; UncleBill35 and Geobabe; iampunha and fizzestothetop; racinchikki and Gunslinger; UncleBeer and porcupine; and matt_mcl and Potter. Just off of the top of my head, you understand.
I don’t think I would be on-line as much as I am. Probably only use the Internet like a big encyclopaedia-cum-research centre, and that’s it. Maybe a few emails (my list of RL friends who are also on-line is small).
If the SDMB hadn’t ever existed, I wouldn’t have had so many tears, some heartache, some rages against injustice. But, nor would I have had so much fun.
I’d probably be doing something that I should be doing, like cleaning or exercising or bringing about world peace. But the boards are so much more fun.
