Friendships, when based on lending an ear, wax and wane with proximity virtual or real...
I just had to write that phrase;) , but there's some truth to it, sometimes friendship seems to end when communication stops, but some friendships last longer and farther, and when you visit those friends again, even after several months of not seeing each other is like no time had passed.

I should also mention that this board was my first BB experience, and I've found it very enjoyable, even if I stopped listening to The Church (impossible!) or they weren't my favorite group anymore (unlilkely) I'd stay around here...
