h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

 So at the moment i am conducting email relationships (purely platonic - anything else would be to scary)
And I was wondering what attracted people to each other on the internet. Most of the people who have randomly emailed me seem to have more in common with me than the one thing that encouraged them to mail me in the first plave.
Maybe people are psychically able to tell instinctively who they might like regardless of what little information they may have in front of them.

Any ideas

Is it actually possible to have anything other than a platonic relationship by email? If so, I'm open to suggestions for how this may be achieved 'cos i cant figure it out

you would show up here. you are even stalking me online
I'll leave you to figure out the answer to your own question.

Online stalking? Sounds scary, I'd better not get involved!

Nah, online stalking is great fun.
And Swiv loves it really.

How would you know eh? eh?
You haven't even mailed since I got back
Some stalker you are

Yes I have mailed you.
And i wrote last week in anticipation of your return.

Ok so I got the mail.
But wrote?????

Well yeah, i replied to our old email from before you went away. But i've probably emailed you to tell you that already anyway.
Ho-hum.
