I confess I was jaw-locked w/ what angeli said cause she pointed lots of things that are true to many, [spoiler]but generally speaking, for some people they choose to be a part of the online life; because, it can be used to compensate w/ self-stress or maybe it's relevant to what they want to do in real life. I kinda have to semi-disagree because some people can cope w/ it & balance roles in "real" life, some can't &/ won't because it's not of their full interest. It doesn't mean you have no life. but anyway (if anyone's reading this i know you don't care so just close the spoiler.)[/spoiler] I apologize if i may sound like a [sup]sarcastic [s]icbth[/s][/sup] to anyone. it's not my intention (in & outside effe talk.) I'm now trying to figure out the difference between "private & public" groups, since it somewhat changed.
