    I'm really glad I met Mrs. Whitman traditionally, before a significant percentage of this went online. You're just a sitting duck for psychos.

    What constitutes traditionally? You get matched by your parents? She sit next to you in third grade? Psychos are everywhere, and there's no shortage of crazies who make people disappear after picking them up in a more traditional way. Most commonly, at a bar.

    Thinking of that scene in Cheers when Frazier and Lilith reminisce ... "Got ripped, tore one off."

    You guys met here, right?

    I'm talking more about the Grindr, Tinder, Craigslist corner of the Internet.

    Yeah, my limited experience with dating sites is that they're driven by desperation (and insanity).

    At last count, I knew of six marriages that came about through initial contact on SJ.com. I've fallen out of touch with some of the couples but I know at least four are still going very strong.

    F eHarmony and Match. They got nothing on good ol' SJ.com.

    That said, be careful out there. If you don't meet them here, be VERY wary.

    And no, I'm not yet lined up to be part of SJ.com Marriage No. 7
