The thing is, and this has been said before, that We often know people online a lot better than we'd know people in our own street, or even next door. and that is a huge change from our parents time, when people did know the neighbours well. Perhaps it's partly because people move so often these days, you barely get to know people locally and when you do, they move to a new home.

I know people on secondlife very well, I know about the problems they're having, any illnesses they've got, problems with family, what they do when they're not online, their habits and what they're passionate about.

All that matters to me a great deal, I don't see the people on secondlife as a computer character, but a real person who presents their soul as an avatar.

That's how I see them anyway, avatars, an extension of the soul.

Wolfie!
