I agree that the best relationships are those that came out of situations when no relationship was expected. Like here at FR, and in other like forums, common interest groups etc. So when things happen to folks like Petronski/Cyborg & HairoftheDog/Ecurbh, the kid in me that believes in fairy tales is thrilled!
The adult in me is amazed. ;)
PS,
I think it's more life in general that has made me the twisted cynic that I am.
That happens, too, unfortunately.
