Thank you for your responses

I heartily enjoyed reading the responses to my "How did you get here?" questionnaire.

I might clarify that the last question (7. Counting both online and offline interactions, do you spend more leisure time with furries, or with friends not involved in the fandom?) wasn't meant to imply that one group of people was better than the other, or that everyone kept their furry and non-furry friends intentionally divided. I asked because my furry and non-furry friends are separate, mainly because they're already divided by distance; the non-furs are mostly in close proximity to my physical self, and my furry friends aren't local, and are spread across North America and the world. Due to this distance, I find myself spending large amounts of time on the computer to communicate with them, and I'm concerned with neglecting my other group of friends-by-proximity. Due to the highly specific and compelling nature of this interest, it's very easy to spend more time online, and reject smoky bars or get-togethers where the company can't be curated as easily as a watch list. If I someday live in a place where the groups co-mingled, I certainly wouldn't stop them from doing so.
Thank you again for your thoughtful comments and responses.
