Internet relationships 

Internet relationships occur when two people use the internet as the primary form to initiate an maintain a relationship, for example this website. The key form of communication are descriptions of your perceptions of what the other person may be like. however, the question is does this constitute as an effective way to build a relationship especially when there are so many factors which cause confusion? Relationships require effective communication. Initially internet communication eg. emails are great for starting to get to know someone. But open forums like this make it extremely difficult to get to know what the other person is like (especially since you are making judgments on what you think the other person may be like - but is not always necessarily the truth). Relationships require mutual understanding, honesty, commitment and working together as a team.
Are internet relationships effective when compared with traditional modes of maintaining a relationship? Especially in relation to open/anonymous internet chat sites like this

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.

Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.
