more computer-related lingo

[Laurence Horn]

 From the Times "On the Net, Love Really Is Blind, With Offline
Pitfalls", 1/18/01, emphasis added:

Storm King [presumably his real name], a doctoral student  at the
Pacific Graduate School of Psychology in Palo Alto, Calif., said
online romances create a false intimacy among couples.  "Text-based
relationships are very deceptive", Mr. King said.  "People know only
the good stuff, and none of the bad."
