Meeting people from the internet
Monty Boyce asks: Have you ever had a real-life meet with somebody you first knew from the internet? How did it go? How long until the Asbo expires?

First time on the internet- aged 12
I joined a forum on a kid's website and started chatting to someone who I thought was a guy.
After a few weeks they asked me if I thought it was weird that they liked girls- I said of course not. We kept chatting.
A few weeks later they thanked me for giving them the courage to tell their parents they were gay. They sent me a charm bracelet in the mail, which I still wear, and 10 years later I still hear from them.
I would have said I was fine with it either way, if I'd known they were a girl at the start... but it just stuns me that, because the internet is so anonymous, something that could so easily have been an oversight helped someone make such a momentous choice.
