that's the thing though, I work with a ton of peeps online I have never met (and I'm lucky for the few I have during my travels) and have made some real friends, learned and I hope shared real knowledge about the world and our purview(s).
for a 25 year old in a dead end job with no family support (not me, just positing here) is online not miles ahead of working in a gas station for the rest of his or her life?
we need to make online ed a valid option, otherwise to me at least it's just more ivory tower bullshit.
