So some people like talking face to face. What about those who don't? Who are too shy to walk up to someone and start a conversation?

I think that's a real problem, T0X. This is my main concern about internet socialization: It gives people who are already antisocial a crutch. Instead of having to deal with real life and real people, they can rely on their virtual friends to fill the voids in their lives, when they should be learning how to socialize with others and become functional members of society.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
