Great article. But I wouldn't equate it in any way to "online dating" like OP did in his post. At least with online dating sites both parties go into it with sort of a standard set of rules: written wooing first leading up to an actual physical meeting.

This story was completely different. Audrey wasn't looking for love on the forums she frequented, but it found her. Then she was taken advantage of, although I think the author overlooks the fact that no rational person should ever allow themselves to be taken advantage of in a situation like that. I mean, he blames Janna for everything yet Audrey was the one who TWICE was going to, sight unseen, pick up everything and move across the country to be with someone she had never actually laid eyes upon, with a history of mental problems, and who had just shot himself in the stomach. She divorced her husband over a phantom. What kind of person must she really be? Can anyone here ever conceive of doing what Audrey did?

Truly a fascinating article and a good read.
