Folks sign on, they chat with people, and they feel like they are right there.
But that's what the airlines are for. I had long ago planned to bowl WIBC with several online friends. They were considered a novelty last year, even making the WIBC program. Another friend who has a penchant for jumping on airplanes to visit people suggested we make a detour to bowl the Hoinke, since it was within driving distance. Mind you, this friend is prohibited from bowling WIBC by his gender, so we had to find another way to include him, and the Hoinke sounded like as good a reason as any.
