Eventually, you need to talk on the phone. You really can't get a real read on someone in print. People can be whomever they want to be on line. Some might be able to fake it on the phone, but not as easily, where questions are answered on the spot. People also miss read what people print. I have had that happen a couple of times. This is just a step up from smoke signals when it comes to communication.

The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge outside of Lawton, Oklahoma. It has one of the largest buffalo herds in the US. They roam free range, no fences. It was also a very loose town at the time. There was a bar with a drive up window where we could buy beer when I was in high school, and there were certain bars we could get in without an I.D.
