Reply to "Can a cyber-friend be as good as any friend?"

I saw TR's post earlier today and when I read it I got what he was saying but I knew he would take a lot of heat for it. (50 replies later i was right)

He qualified his definition of friend quite well.

Some of define "friend" differently. I would describe a friend as someone I could count on - on whatever level of friendship we shared.

Ie, my cyber friends can be counted on for advice more than say a neighbor down the street who can always be counted on for a spare egg or trip to the dealership to pick up my car. If I need baseball advice I know I can come here for "friendship" and good advice. Maybe my best girlfriend cant help me there.

Anyway TR I would hope that if I needed baseball advice that I could count on you as a "cyberfriend" the way I count on my best "real" friend for her support.

I think you are both the same kind of high quality person regardless of your physical location.
