Just to share my personal experience:

I chat a lot on the Internet and have developed some
pretty outstanding friendships. It is also more
accessible to many people and takes pressure away from
any time commitments. In addition, I like the fact
that is impossible to interrupt each other and
everyone can fully express themselves (very good for
ADD'ers.)

Conversly, I don't know how much "love" and support I
have actually felt from the local support groups I
have been in. And this is the main reason I have
stopped attending them.

I have noticed that the real "love" seems to come from
outside friendships that are developed through the
groups rather than within the group itself, and the
email group would be just as good a way to meet each
other.
