I believe there have been studies, Jerry, verifying the bonding, supportive nature of on-line groups.

I am happy for you and Paula. I am sure that the ordeal has been nerve racking. God does answer prayers. On another but oddly related matter, I was in a major discussion with a group of business men regarding distance education. While they were impressed with the advances technology has afforded through streaming audio and video, they were concerned about students learning from their peers, especially the lack of social interaction. As I reflected on our community's joy as your (Leon) progress toward recovery, I realize that we have had enough social bonding to really care about each other even though many of us have never met. In all kinds of weather!
