I've met many people in real life that I found on the internet and they were exactly the same in person as they were online. But then I am an incredibly good judge of people.
I have had very good luck in that regard, too. Years back, I made friends with a fellow amp-geek that had an idea for a new 2x10 guitar combo. Another internet-friend from CA happened to go to NJ and meet up with him, and he was raving about the sound of the prototype. I spent hours on the phone with him explaining what I wanted in an amp. The production model (I have serial #2) was/is fantastic, and the amp got very good reviews in Guitar Player magazine. I played a semi-hollow guitar through it with no effects pedals at an annual biker-bash, and bikers that I hadn't seen for a year were coming up to me and asking what I was doing that was different. That alone was remarkable.

I had one of the other guitarists play my equipment while I took a beer-break, and I could see what the big deal was. Outdoor amp tone without a stand-alone sound-board and reinforcement can be tough. That little amp nailed it.

He and his wife and their two little girls came to visit us on their vacations two years in a row, and we had a great time. Great people!

Duke says "woof!".

And thanks. It's nice to have friends - even remote friends.
