When Long-Distance Relationships Go Too Far

I work on a daily basis with people all over the world, many of whom I've never seen. I have forged happy working partnerships and friendships with people that have lasted years before a face-to-face meeting (and years afterwards, thank you very much). So far be it from me to denigrate the power of technology to help people perform the most intimate social dances with each other across a great, great distance. But I say there are some things that should be done in person.
