Maggi: what kind of met do you mean then MC?
gloria: He is especial..He thinks I´m especial too :)
Maggi: oh...that kind...
Maggi: special
gloria: special
Vance: That's great Gloria.
Maggi: I thinking meeting first virtully is better.
MichaelC: Why?
gloria: I don´t know.. I´m not sure..
Maggi: prejudices about appearance don't aplly
Maggi: apply
Maggi: you get to know who a person really is first...afterwrds appearance matters very little.
Maggi: and when you meet it can b rel magic...
gloria: what if he is not telling the truth
MichaelC: That's interesting Maggie. I'm still thinking about it.
Maggi: oops...be real magic
gloria: you´ll never know
Vance: What do you know about him Gloria, just what he writes?
Maggi: well...that is a risk...you will know if he doesn't want to met you
MichaelC: Yes Gloria but I feel like I know Vance well but I haven't met him.
gloria: yes..and I´ve got some pictures from him
gloria: also true MC
Vance: But we both have professional presences on the web
MichaelC: Amazing isn't it!
gloria: amazing
MichaelC: So i guess the web presence lends trust....
Maggi: and when you do you feel like good friends without having to go through the rigamarole...
Maggi: hey..
Maggi: I may have hung here...
Vance: I think it does in professional circumstances. For example, it's hard to fake your music. You must do it.
MichaelC: But I know other people without websites who I also feel I know.
gloria: I think of you as my friends
MichaelC: Thanks Gloria.
Vance: I think there are certain groups of people, runners for example, whom you can trust.
Vance: In webheads, people are clearly here for unselfish reasons.
Maggi: I think most people are honest...
Maggi: ...in fact they relax and are really themselves.
MichaelC: Why runners?
gloria: Maybe we can feel when the people are honest..
Maggi: yeah...why runners...
Maggi: sure we can Gloria...
MichaelC: I think you're right Gloria. You can 'feel' honesty over the Net.
Vance: Runners? I hang out with runners almost everywhere I go. They're people who discipline themselves toward higher goals, who have ideals ...
MichaelC: All runners are good gys?
Maggi: and the rest of us don't?
MichaelC: Good guys?
Vance: Hard to say, but they're pretty much all nice people, the ones I meet anyway.
MichaelC: I'll have to believe Vance. I have no running friends!
Maggi: do you run MC?
Vance: It's just been my experience.
MichaelC: Not any more maggi. used to lots.....got lazy.
Maggi: I think these kind of people exist other than just as runners...:-)
gloria: Ok guys I really enjoyed our conversation. I´ll keep in touch
Vance: We do too, Gloria. That's why we're here week after week.
Maggi: please do Gloria...
MichaelC: Fine Gloria. Seen you next week. i should go too....
gloria: Thanks..I´m leaving..Bye bye
Maggi: off to nevernverland...
Vance: bye for now.
