I think part of the reason I chose to abandon most interaction over the internet is that I find too many people to be fake when online.

I have had quite a few people say "The internet is an escape"... but to me it's an extension of my life, like a phone or other communication tool. It's not an anonymous playground as some people seem to think.

I must admit that I don't see internet communication as being on par with face to face comms or even a phone call. Though more often than not I find myself being more formal and more careful...not always but generally so.

I will be the first to admit though that I still think of the net (and communicating with it) as something of a novelty....I wonder if that's how people treated wireless or telephone when it first showed up on the scene....
