While there are a few people among those facebook friends whose posts i look forward to, I spend more time looking at this forum. It's easy to find commonality with friends, however tenuous the connection, but there is something a little special, I find, about finding a community among people who are otherwise strangers.
It's probably a matter of perception and habit. We're used to our friends, we've already shared and to some extent grown with each other, and so we may take the closeness we share a little for granted. But in this forum, finding that strangers can agree with us, give us helpful advice, share problems and commiserate with our own, can add to our pleasure and even self esteem. We've made new friends and the level of our attractiveness or position or wealth does not come in to it. Even when we are disagreed with or excoriated for something we posted—hey we were noticed by other people, other people outside the usual circle of acquaintances.

I logged in just to say that someone should enshrine the above paragraph for future reference in the MRF time capsule. Thanks, blooz, for elucidating what some (many) of us feel about the MRF forums and why we use and peruse them.
