The Internet is a place where I can get into a conversation in which my answer to "How do you know David?" includes "I didn't even know his name was David."
I was once IMed by someone I know in real life who also reads my LJ, asking me how I knew someone. She gave the person's realspace name, so I had no clue who she meant. We just read each other's LJs. Still, the world shrunk.
In that sort of situation my answer would be I don't know Ralph, I only know Fnurtgrooble. After all in such cases where I only know somebody online I assume I'm only familiar with that small part of them they care to expose through LJ, AIM etc. This is generally not enough for me to believe I 'know' them.
