I agree. I would add to it that besides Internet chat and physical
presence there is a third option not to be overlooked by theosophists, a
spiritual presence abd spiritual communication. To my limited knowledge,
it's mostly hard work, but also sometimes listening to angelic harping and
perhaps smelling some good coffee or tea :)
