I wasn't suggesting that it was the greatest film of all time but it warmed my heart mostly rather than made me laugh because it is a triumph of the characters in life that everyone else either pokes fun at or ignores completely.

It hurt me to read that you missed the point I was trying to make which was this: that guy who gets married would never ever have met someone in real life even though he was a kind soul. His lack of social skills was the reason and so he diverted his passions and interests into technology. And his love of technology did not let him down because he met someone online. For him to say "I love you more than technology but I still love technology" is one of the most romantic things I've ever heard given the context in the film. It could equally have been a woman for example who loves horses more than anything else in the whole world meets someone that she is astonished to find she loves more (or as much as) horses.

And none of you love those poor electronics experts who dedicated massive parts of their lives in order for you to communicate in the manner you all are doing right now, supporting each other and making friends that you would not otherwise have had?

Sorry for the rant
