The internet is a fine place - but it can be scarey.


There are a lot of phoneys here.





Have you tried getting out and involved in local or community activities....volunteering at schools, hospitals, or other institutions gives you a wonderful exposure to new people.





Oh...and do your 360 page...you meet lots of nice folks that way too!
