I actually take offence to this. Even though I don't know any of the members on this board personally, people here can be very supportive and knowledgable. I've got some fantastic insight and advice from people on CalgaryPuck that I'm able to apply in real life that I would never receive from friends or family. Not because my family isn't supportive, but because a lot of them don't have the experience or expertise that some people on this site do. I don't think there's anything wrong with balancing "online" interaction and "real-life" interaction. As long as he's not ONLY using a message board as his source of support, which I'm sure he's not.
Sometimes typing out your problems and getting feedback from strangers is a therapeutic way of thinking through your emotions.
All that being said, I take most of what I read here with a grain of salt. Some people certainly have better advice than others. But there is good stuff to be found.
