I agree, I've been part of very fulfilling online communities. I'd say the only bad thing about them was that for much of the interaction, it required a seat at my computer. There's something to be said for back porch beers, etc. That, to no surprise, doesn't work for me with love relationships of course. My (now) wife and I had a long distance relationship and it was very, very difficult. Unlike the online communities, it was a struggle more than fulfilling - it left me longing for more, etc.
