Agreed. Had PP not have the need, she would not have been posting on here.

Internet social interaction is just a version of general social interaction, and a desire to post on a forum manifests the need for social interaction that is alive and well. It has not even been put on hold - it has just been converted into online posting, but it is just as social as going for drinks with a live human.
