> I think you are right- that there are different levels of communication, depending on whether one just posts on the boards, or also uses chat, babblemail, personal e-mail, the telephone, or, in a few cases, personal visits. While what happens out on the boards is somewhat over-controlled, what happens with all the other forms of communication is completely private and not subject to any administrative rules.To clarify, babblemail and chat ARE subject to administrative oversight. Private emails, chats, IMs, phone calls, in person meetings, snail mail, smoke signals, etc. is NOT, as that would be inappropriate as well as impossible to administer.
I've been blessed to form friendships that developed after getting to know them first here at Babble. I've met some in person more than once and look forward to continuing to see my friends when I can. I talk on the phone to some all the time. These friendships originated at Babble, and I'm grateful to Babble for that. But they have evolved, as friendships do, far beyond Babble. I can't speak for others' relationships, but my friends and I seem to have a great variety, if not infinite number of things we find interesting to talk about besides Babble or any individual member of Babble.
