I have a rather large group of good friends that I met thru various online venues, but with whom I eventually developed in-person relationships. There are a handful of people I interact with online that I've never met, but of those, I consider the majority acquaintances more than true friends; the few I do consider friends, I'm sure I'll eventually meet in real life, but schedules and distances have simply prevented it so far. The online thing is a wonderful way of meeting people and creating very focused discussions etc., but I think real, true friendship is too multi-faceted to maintain in cyberspace alone.
