Very true! I was just thinking of that recently, and I felt it comes from these strangers asking completely different questions than the people who know us and already have expectations or assumptions about the situation. Also made me think that it is much more interesting (sometimes) to explain yourself to someone you don't know, for similar reasons. Sometimes I hear myself using completely different words, or realize where my words, all of a sudden, make not much sense at all.

Yeah, there is definitely less restraint both ways, as the speaker and as the listener/person commenting, especially online. I think that can be extremely helpful.
