Well, if you don't have many friends or never throw big parties, I am
a little sorry for you. Personally, I am gregarious and have lots of
friends. :=AC)
I prefer to have really a smaller amount of "real" friends.
As do I.
I don;t know how long said parties last, but let's be generous and say 6
hours. That's 360 minutes. If you invited 360 people (that's 'hundreds')
you;d only soend, on avverage, 1 minute with each of them. That doesn't
sound very friendly to me.
Persoanlly I'd rather attend smaller gatherings where I get to spend
enoguh time with those present to have a reasonable discussion about
somehting of mutual interest. Even then I often feel I've not spent long
enough with each person.
[Socnets]
Not at all.
It's a tool, nothing more. If you don't want to use it,
fine, but it makes you look foolish if you criticise others for no
other reason than that they do use it, or because you don't know how
to.
Maybe that's the language difference (We could always try to write in
german, I never had english in a school), I don't want/wanted to critici=
se
you or others for using Socnets, this was never my intention.
I'm not using them and I never missed something like that.
That is just my point of view, but no criticism.
I agree with you. I woudl agree that sconets are a tool, and like all
tools they're only useful if you can use them to solve a problem (or
perform some task). If you don't have that problem, you don't use them. I
don't have problems that are solved by Facebook, so I don't have a
Facebook account.
Liam, I wouldn't be suprised if you didn't recognist some of the
(physical) tools in my toolkit. That's fine, you have no use for a
dividing head, a mainspring winder, a wire-wrap tool, a valve tester, a
spinrg tension gauge or anything like that. That's fine, you do differnt
things to me. But equally, i don't have to want to use the tools (in the
general sense) that you do.
