Leben und ich
[ We'll Always Have ICQ ]
»It takes two minutes to remove someone from your IM lists, even if that person has eight handles across five different clients. You can filter incoming e-mails straight to trash if you don't want to deal with someone again. You don't run into your online exes around town.
Online relationships tend to be emotional, because that's the kind of connection we make when we remove the physical from the equation. But without the physical reminders that someone has left behind -- a shared table at the local cafe, the friends you hung out with together, a toothbrush -- it's a hell of a lot easier to get through the emotional upheaval and move on with your life.«
