We can all be CR friends, but by virtue of the very real wisdom of remaining anonymous here on-line, it is difficult to find a way to be friends outside of the CR. I discovered completely by accident that one of the posters here was in fact a long ago dear friend with whom I had lost touch. We reconnected because of the CR (and because of a chessed that she was extending, which is so like her), but it was all Hashgocha Protis, and certainly not typical.
For many reasons, it is better that in general, we maintain our anonymity. Discussions sometimes get heated or a little personal, and it is better that we really do not know to whom we are speaking at those times.
