Can people form solid, long lasting friendships online? I refer to a forum topic by someone (sorry, i can't remember your name!) asking where all her friends were from. Opinions? It seems like when you meet someone on the bus and you probably never see them again.

I've been getting a ton of flack at school for my "confession". Hey, I thought it was supposed to be private! (: I don't care, just thought I'd report on the situation for all interested.
