Contacts & Friends

Lately, I've gotten messages from various PBers requesting to be added to their Friends list. I was honored, considered it a privilege, and accepted.

I was curious, though, about that particular function of the board. How do I put this? Besides making a list, what is it used for?

I dunno. I don't see much utility in it other than having a list of people I normally contact via PM. I think there might be some functionality associated with it but I've never looked into it.

It makes it easier to spy on those people when they're online --stalking them from forum to forum and dogging their steps until they notice and acknowledge the vital role you have in their life.

Using it for contacting people you normally contact via PM is useful. I knew it had to serve some purpose, just wasn't sure what that purpose was.

Thanks, Rich.

When I first asked about the function, I didn't think it served any useful purpose. Thanks for setting me straight!

It's very unnerving, isn't it.
