No problem. And I agree that there is no substitute for hanging out in person. I think in order to break down the current prejudice against friendships made and sustained online is to realize that we shouldn't dichotomize such friendships. Just because a friendship or partnership started in a digital community does not mean the friendship is forever relegated to the digital world. Of course, we are at a stage in development where most digital friendships are difficult to bring into physical communities due to transportation barriers. But those should be broken down this century as well. I think we will see a complete blurring of the lines between physical/digital communities.
