Miss Christine, I have a strong feeling of guilt, having made up the story of me having no teeth and pink hair. I was raised a Catholic and I feel guilty about things I didn't even do. However I think I made the point that we don't know what each other looks like, but we are getting to know each others minds. Do you form a mental image of the people you know from the net? I don't.
I guess I agree with your reasons why the woman voluntarily went to meet her murderer. I certainly can't come up with a better explanation. However, I can't think of another way that two people like this would find each other, but the net. I really didn't want to bring up this gruesome subject, but I feel compelled to bring up things that nobody wants to talk about. The "feelings" thread seemed like the right place. I, like you, want to find out why this happened.
As far as the guy who did the murder, it's a little frightening to hear that he was otherwise a "normal" person. We have evolved a thinking emotional brain overlaying a still functioning reptilian one, and we sometimes end up with these bizzare behaviors. I wonder if we will ever be able to detect these problems in advance.
On a lighter note, did you have a chance to look into the electric vehicle companies in S.F? I ordered a book on the development of the GM electric car. Robert Stemple, who once headed GM, is a big believer in EV's, and is very involved in a small company, Energy Conversion Devices, that is developing the batteries that will make EV's practical. Come over and visit my site under miscellaneous technology for a change of pace.
