It does make me wonder more about the social implications of people leading multiple lives, their real life as well as a virtual life in chat rooms, worlds of warcraft, second life, etc. - ultimately they all do have some existence and impact in real life. I guess it just underscores the fact that reality (at least in how it impacts someone) tends to exist more in one's perceptions than actual facts.

For what it's worth, I'm the same in the chat rooms as I am in real life. WYSIWYG!
