    I, for one, don't know if I present as the same person on the net as I do in person
You are much taller on line.

Ouch. Way to make a guy feel small.

Yikes, sorry. I meant it as a compliment, as in "towering intellect."

I thought it was a joke about me being 5'8". Really not that offended either way. Just ribbing you a bit. Not all that sensitive (although I have had women tell me flat out that I'm too short to date; for some reason that's not considered bad form like it would be to say, "You're too dark skinned to date; don't know why).

About five good comebacks just instantly surfaced in my mind.

Get your mind out of the gutter. This is a classy place.

Actually 5'8" is tall in my books. My current spousal unit is 5'6½" and shrinking. Also possessing of a towering intellect. In terms of size, I always wanted a man with a really big vocabulary.

Edit: 5'5½" on a good day. Vocabulary is getting bigger though.
