With a phone number someone can bug you directly and personally at their leisure; with the internet it's much more indirect and impersonal (and on your terms).

You might be cannibals or liberals or even soccer fansA few of the friends I've met through Civ (as with real life) are at the extremes of e.g. the political or religious spectrum. It really doesn't bother me... the years of interaction and camaraderie are what's important. To me it's simply interesting to find out more about friends I've come to know online. They may or may not have many things other than Civ in common, but either way that's fine. Perhaps I'm a bit of an oddball though.Right now we just all love civ, and that's good enough for me.
