Default FFS why do people suddenly want to be "friends" ?

As title, I don't do Faceb**k, or MSN, or the other Internet b*ll*cks.... so why are people I know in the real world now wanting to be my S'net "friend" ?



dunx

P.S. Does "friendship" serve a purpose on here ?

I sense somebody not feeling the love.

Maybe we should all send Mr Dunx a friend request.












No I don't really see the point either, but if it makes people happy knowing that they have friends, then it's fine with me. (I've got 3 friends, aren't I lucky)

It's more of a contact list. Useful for quickly being able to email/pm people you know. Remember many SN users do know other users in real life

PS. no I don't want to be your friend

That's all well and good but I've had loads of random requests of people I've never conversed with on here.

So far I've only accepted one as it's someone I've spoken too on numerous occasions, doesn't live too far from me and we both run similar spec cars.

Oi, Dunx, you've been on my Buddy List for ages I use it to quickly see if anyone I know is online, and to send multiple PM's occasionally. 'Tis a useful feature !

This is clearly a 'male ego trip'

I've got more freinds than you, ner, ner, ner, ner, ner!!

It only took our 11 year old a few weeks to realise what a complete waste of time MSN was - having nagged for it for 2 years!
