[net.women.only] Meeting old friends for the first time

Having old friends that one's never met in person isn't a phenomenon
unique to netters.  (Or to pen pals.)  As a science fiction fan, I belong to
several apas (amateur press associations) and occasionally encounter at
conventions people who've been my friends for years...for the first time
in person.

Usually we get on quite well.  Occasionally we find out we have nothing
to talk about in person, only on paper.
