Remember..

if you are going to play with strangers meet them in a public place. lol.
It's good advice, and really shows how the world has changed. What's the point telling anyone not to talk ot strangers, so many people have access to the net and are communicating with strangers somewhere along the way. It's not reasonable to say, "but you don't know who they really are!", it's just "ok, but meet somewhere public and if you like we'll come too".
I have gone and met a few of the MMBers now, and we've had lovely girlie coffee and shopping and general hanging, and its been great, doesn't even seem strange. if someone had said ten years ago that meeting people on line would be this normal i'd have laughed. Actually i'd have said, "internet? oh, that's the thing the science types use isn't it." 10 years and our whole social structure is changing, email was relatively uncommon in the UK at least, 10 years ago, even at Uni most people didn't have pc's, all though huge numbers were owned by the uni itself. New and shiny. :)
Just rambling.
