It puzzles me how many people still believe ‘friendship’ or at least bonhomie conducted in cyberspace isn’t a valid form of social contact, but, say, being thrown together at an NCT group, or in halls of residence, or because your desks at work face onto each other, is. Or that anodyne small talk with a neighbour is ‘genuine social stimulation’, whereas chatting over twitter with someone 6,000 miles away who loves Top Gun and Jefferson Airplane as much as you do is just lonely, dysfunctional nerds clashing in cyberspace. This, to my mind, is idiotic. It’s time for us all to come out of the closet about our secret internet chums.

I get told all the time, “You don’t know them. They could be rapists or serial killers.” Obviously some people do lie...
