Remember in the days before the Internet when you would interact with someone on the phone for a long time. Then when you met them, they were nothing like the person you pictured either in terms of appearance of how they acted. I can think of only one situation in which the person turned out to be exactly as I pictured her. I think this gets amplified on-line.
It doesn't happen often but sometimes you discover that a couple of people you know well in the real world know some of the people with whom you have only interacted on-line. This could be via e-mail, social media, forums such as this, and especially dating sites.
This happened recently so when I was communicating with one of them, I shared my impression of somebody with whom I had only communicated on line. I said "She seems HORRIBLE just HORRIBLE." I shared some of the things she had said.
When I shared my impressions, which were far from positive, I immediately got back:
she must have been hacked ... that is highly unlike her ... one word, V I R U S .... she'll be aghast ...
The person then went on to say:
...and he named the place they hang out.
He went on to say.
Interesting isn't it. He has a point, accounts that are dormant can get hacked and the person using them can be nothing like the individual who originally had that account. Just goes to show, you ever know.
Have you ever had an experience like that?

...travels a lot.... lol ... there's a mix-up ... she is very well spoken - a proud parent and world traveling art lover ... and someone who I hang with when in......

Internet has too many grey areas to be certain about anyone but I'd bet big on this lady. Yes a decent smaddy, lol.
