It's kind of interesting, because that's really what I thought you were going to say. Some people, myself included, probably feel that it's somewhat of a cyberworld, like a game almost. I wonder if it makes a difference for the ones that have had real world face-to-face contact with other members? It's easy to always see them as their icon-sized picture, or as the printed name, but when you actually have met them, would it still be the same? Tracy brings up a great point also about how we read only what interest us, and that in itself affects the part of us that's displayed here.
