-
- In my experience, if I share a hug on the net, and later on I meet the
- individual in person, I again share a hug with them, this time a
- physical hug.
-
- Therefore, network hugs should be taken at face value.

- (Network kisses, and beyond, are slightly dicier, but hugs
- are pretty reliable.)

- "Real life" -- what's that?
