Whatever some sad people might say, I know damn well that at the far end of every handle that appears on this board is a real live person. There's nothing magic about the internet or the use of computers - they are only tools - in this case communication tools which allow us to interact in seconds - imagine trying to organise all this crap by mail! The personalities of these real live persons usually shine through in some way, shape or form in their posts. So it is possible to develop genuine friendships through this medium - hell, the pen pal system has been going for years - isn't this a natural extension of it?
So, when I feel that a gentle soul such as Morgan is a bit down, well, being me, I can't not-do anything. I'm usually quite good at cheering people up (I don't kill everyone I meet!) - hence that post. Share the care!
