People are often a lot different in meatspace.


There was actually a psychology study performed on this subject that I read
about some time ago. The researchers gathered data on what cyber-citizens
thought of each other: how they thought each other looked and various
quantifiable personality traits.

After compiling the data, the researchers had the cyber-citizens meet in
meatspace then interviewed the citizens again.

It is no surprise to me that what people *thought* other people were like in
real life were not even close to reality.

A notable exception in this group is Mr. Honeck here. He's as "real" in
meatspace as he is in real life. That's a compliment, Mr. Jay.

On the other hand, most of you probably think I'm a studly, low-wing kinda
guy with redneck tendencies that tall, blonde, supermodels dig. In real
life I'm . . . Well, that's pretty accurate.

Never mind.
