It's cooler to talk online instead of experiencing face to face interaction at someplace outside one's own home?
No, but meeting perfect strangers in real life and feigning delight and friendship because you yak on the same site is lamer than both summed up, cubed.
you're just afraid someone will see the iPod you've been keeping a secret :p
:eek:

You said you'd keep my secret.. :(:|

I'd go to one, if someone were to organize one down here in the mid-atlantic. That would be a damn sure way of ensuring nobody else went :p

That's pretty weak too :p But at least they get to show off their point of common interest. We... don't really have one.

People are busy - it is hard to get a group of various people to agree on a day to meet "friends" from the internet. I had a fairly successful meetup in Birmingham, but we haven't even tried to have another one. I guess that day the ingredients were in place or something.

Mill is right.

We did try have another bham meet though, but we couldn't even figure out what day to have it on.

We all hate P&N?
We all hate Nik?
We all hate Christians (unless we are Christian)?

That's all I can think of off the top of my head :p
