I sent a note to AKMA yesterday.

Dan Brennan has been giving this some thought as well and has been reading Patricia Wallace's The Psychology of the Internet and offered these thoughts recently in the faithmaps discussion group.

Surely the heightened optionality of online relationships is something with which we must take care to be consistently Christian.
