Never having met, seen, or spoken with most of the people I corresponded with online, the easiest way to distinguish one from the other was to write down whatever they told me about themselves (e.g. age, hair color, height, computer, school, occupation) so I could form a mental picture.

I've tried to block out most personal info (in red) while still leaving real names intact wherever possible. Apologies to those whose online identities and/or personal info I may have inadvertently revealed after all these years.
