Like things to consider:

Do you work? Is it a job that requires a computer?
What type of work do you do?
Do you go to school?
Are you single/ Married?
What do you like most about your online group of friends?
Has anyone dated anyone in the group of online friends?
How often do you speak to each other when your not online?
How many hours a week do you work, if you do work?

age - 37
Religion - Waiting to get one started about me, but until then, I'm fence-sitting

introverted/extroverted - typically introverted meeting new people, but extroverted once I feel comfortable.
level of education - B.A. in English Lit, but I work in computers. Go figure.
How many hours a day do you spend online? 8 or less because I pretty much only do it at work. I have dial-up at home, and that's no fun.
How many outside friends do you have? A few close ones, and a heap of flaky ones.
Do you work? Is it a job that requires a computer? Yep. Right now I'm a help desk guy, and it seems to require two computers. So it's pretty much one for work and one for play.

Are you single/ Married? Divorced (once), engaged (twice), but currently co-habitating with no plans for marriage. Yet.
What do you like most about your online group of friends? They are ever present. Yikes. That's a little scary. But better than my real friends who tend to have lives of their own. Bastards.
Has anyone dated anyone in the group of online friends? I dunno. Actually, I guess on another forum (Douglas Adams Continuum), there did seem to be a little hanky-panky between a couple of them. It all ended in tears.
