good point though. very good point.
That's what I think, also. I have met a few in the former group, but mostly online it does seem to be the latter. Exceptions aren't unheard of though.

Facebook is a mess, I stay out of things on there because I have better things to do than sit on Facebook all day and get involved with people's drama that I frankly don't care about. I only have an account to stay in touch with friends who now live far away from me.
Thanks for this!
