@Setanta,
No, I can honestly say I've never
dreamed of anyone I "met" here. (This is my only online forum, so ...)
But I
can say I have commiserated with some A2Kers & what they have been coping with in their lives ... & have worried about them as I go about my life.
I can say that I have pondered about what fellow posters have
said, long after I have turned my computer off.
And I can also say that I have grieved the demise of people who have posted here (to a surprisingly
deep level, given that I've never actually
met them in person).
I think I can say I have been
touched by many people at this forum, but never once have I dreamed of them.
