It's soooo easy to spot liars on the net.  I've read books on police
interviewing techniques, ways to spot liars.  When someone tells me they are
a "doctor", I ask them questions about physiology to see if they are real.
I've caught lots of liars that way.  To the contrary, I find the net a very
useful place to discover people's true intentions.  When I meet the right
person on the net, I've found that I can attain a deeper level of trust than
is possible in the shallow settings of bars, churches, or even any kind of
physical reality.  I can set very high standards to meet exactly who I am
looking for.  I haven't been disappointed with anyone I've met from the net,
because I know exactly who they are before I meet them.

I guess this is the only situation in which I've had to meet new people
through non-internet methods.  I've been looking for ways in which
non-internet methods are better, but so far haven't found any.  How can
people possibly accomplish anything?
