Sorry, Cynthetiq, I disagree. I have found that having good relationships with siblings and parents is a very very important thing. For one thing, it's important for your kids to have grandparents, and making sure kids have good grandparent relationships is one of the things one does for one's kids.
That being said, the Net is just one more way of meeting people. If you would meet in a bar, you can meet on the net. You need to be careful on the net just like IRL - heck, nowadays the net IS real life.
In terms of Cookmo's problem, I guess if she knows the guy six months and has actually spoken to him, has details about him and is satisfied that she knows enough about him to make judgments, she should tell her family that. It would help if the NH guy visited a couple of times first before moving out permanently - that's a little creepy-sounding to me.
