I'm not certain about what's real.
Perhaps the gap between the cyberhug and real hug is not easily bridged. Sort of like the Russians and Americans converging on the River Elbe at the end of World War II, with the fleeing Germans inbetween.
You ask whether I feel like an "outsider" here. I do.
When I suggested that some posters are more "real" than others, I now realize I was mistaken.
Nevertheless, I yearn for a kind of integrity and honesty of language, heart, and soul, evinced by "ScamBuster", "So", or "Previously Known As"... I would venture he's more geniune or real, yet I don't want to diminish anyone else's experience, "realness", or value.
Bear with me as I explore this.
