At age 37, I can honestly say I only have two at the most...Sadly I "know" many DUers whom I've never met much better than people IRL (one of the reasons I still continue to hang around after all this time)...

I don't necessarily agree with all of the writer's points, but I think for a lot of us this is a much bigger problem than we'd care to admit...
