I think that friends, whether they're online or off are real friendships, to talk to and get to know anyone in any context makes them friends, could you argue the same for pen pals ( whoa! that's going back a bit )
Add to that the possible fact that people are more open with their opinions and feelings online, just as they are when writing letters. This in itself could make it that online friendships are more in-depth and stronger than offline friendships, of course i could be talking absolute tripe.
Hmmmm
I have to go now, the magical giraffe people are knocking at the ceiling.
Byeeeeeeeeee!
As guns are outlawed, only the outlaws have guns.
I love giving opinions, I've got hundreds.

Very wise observation. Especially applicable to us gents, who generally don't forge those kinds of 'deep', 'open' platonic relationships in the real world.

So very true. Nice. 
In a relationship.

see? although I may indeed be a bit strange, I can also be quite profound if something tickles me in the right way.
