I am glad to meet you all.
Many articles and researches are talking about how internet change the world, and why poeple like to talk with someone who they hardly know, even more than their real friends.
Who cares.
I like to share my happiness when i feel great, and need someone listen to me when I feel really sad. Just few words and piece of suggestion is good.
The posts and replies here make me feel comfortable;therefore, I initiate this diary like post to share my daily life with you. Anyone wants to join; you are my friend. I do not have to know you or see you, whoever and wherever you are, neither do you. Internet connects us; that is amazing.
Life is hard, friendship is treasure; let's face this world.
Someday, I may say "Oh, this life is not bad because of a friend who I never see and never know."  Will it be sad or happy at that moment? I do not know.
<STRONG>However, I do know if 999 replies i can get here, I am going to be very very very happy; otherwise...</STRONG>
<STRONG>Come on, guys, do not let me down, ok?</STRONG><br><br>

hi,abc.I am glad to meet you.Your English is very good.I hope you can make a great effort in our forum.
Let's build a beautiful and comfertale Family together.
Thank you.

<FONT size=3>Dear ABC,</FONT>
<FONT size=3>You are really sort of greedy in the hope of getting 999 replies. Nevertheless, I'm sure everybody that has finished reading your post can hardly reject your kind invitation, and thus replying to this post as I'm doing right now.</FONT>
<FONT size=3>I just appreciate your statements that we don't even need to see or know each other, for we are here in this cyber world to talk between souls, which are also invisuable.</FONT>
<FONT size=3>It's my great pleasure to voice chat with you, and I sincerely wish we could exchange more ideas in the writings here in the coming days.</FONT>
<FONT size=3>Sincerely yours,</FONT>

No, no, no! I am not greedy. 9 replies from you, 9 from David, and 9 from Slowpoke; then I get 999. haha.
I saw many friends asked English questions in groups. Why not we share daily troubles and happiness together as a family. Somehow, we all have a moment of boring, upset,lose, angry, regret sometimes. Write it down,  kind of release.
Release pressures, release our mind sounds easy; actually not.  Who can say whatever he/she really wants to say? do he/she really wants to do? That is reality.
Find a place, release ourself; Find a friend, a real friend may be right here.

Dear ABC,
Welcome! I am sure you will get 999 replies when you have 999 posts. I am looking forward to that day
You are right. It is an advantage of internet forums - we can share our intimate feelings, thoughts with others without having to worry about being judged or even getting hurt (if you know how to protect yourself.). When we get response, we know we are not alone in the world, we can be understood and we have friends around the internet.
You will find friends here.

It will be, My hosts. Only matter of time.
I was moved by Cactus's novel. Everyone has his own story which sealed deeply in the heart like a bottle of wine stored in a cellar. The more years it is reseverd, the more browing, and the better taste. After 50 years, open the the bottle, get one glass of that wine. I believe it will be red like rose and smell like heaven. Taste a little,you will smile like Mona Lisa.
Life is we love and be loved. Love can be sealed, but never disapear.

What do you feel about this?
Actually, it does not matter what we feel; just need to refresh our mind:
Why still not open mouth  when our grammar is far better than native language speakers?
