They didn't exactly meet on the internet. You make it sound like he was trolling websites looking for love! She emailed him a letter. He responded and their first correspondences were by elecronic means.
Just telling you what I read. I see nothing in my post that impied he was "trolling". I also see nothing wrong with internet meeting, lots of folks seem to be doing that these days, last night as a Valetine segment on the news stories about couples and how they met, one couple met playing Pogo games, others met on line, and as you know there are many dating services advertised on TV, that are internet based.
