Married People and the Internet

From the Daily Telegraph:

A married couple who didn't realise they were chatting each other up on the Internet are divorcing.

Sana Klaric and husband Adnan, who used the names "Sweetie" and "Prince of Joy" in an online chatroom, spent hours telling each other about their marriage troubles...

The truth emerged when the two turned up for a date. Now the pair, from Zenica in central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being unfaithful.

"I was suddenly in love. It was amazing. We seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriage. How right that turned out to be," Sana, 27, said.

Adnan, 32, said: "I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years".

In my experience the internet doesn't mix well with relationships. You can read many stories about how Facebook and Myspace has killed marriages and relationships.

And something about the ridiculous tax system that has Warren Buffet and that guy who made $2 billion last year at a hedge fund paying lower taxes than me and the grocery clerk guy.
