I have some friends, less than that I once had but I left that group by choice. I actually rarely see the difference between my "online" and "offline" friends since I have to speak to both online most of the time due to the fact that we're all so busy either because we work or go uni or just have bad luck meeting up to hang out. I also think a lot can be said for online friends as you don't always know much more about someone than their screen name and what ever they tell you about themselves, this can be abused yes but when it isn't abused it can make for a really pure friendship because of the fact that all social barriers such as racism and facism are removed by the anonynimity(sp?) of the net
