Hehe, it seems you have problems I don't have
and that I don't want.
What problems?
You want to contact hundreds of people, this is a technical problem, that I
simply not have.
If you need to invite hundrets of people to
eveents, please do that like
you want, I just don't need to do that.
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. :?)
I prefer to have really a smaller amount of "real" friends.
I can mail all of my friends and all of my
customers or only some of them,
no need to chat... that's all.
So can I. Sometimes, it is quicker and easier to use a socnet. It is
easier for me to pick, say, the London-based people out of my ~800
friends on Facebook than to choose their email addresses from the
~5000 people in my address book.
I don't have any phobia, but it seems you
have one: that you are get
disconnected...
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 criticise
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've been an IT support professional for 25 years. My tools are my
hands and my brain; I used to carry around some physical media with a
few handy programs on.
Same here.
I don't use a soldering iron - have not since
the 1980s - or a multimeter, ever.
I do hardware, repairing developing and programming but not building
besides of hobby projects or prototypes.
Others regard these as essential tools.
Neither of us is "right" or "wrong" - they're just tools for a
job.
I'm primarily a software support guy; if there is a hardware failure,
all I have to do is diagnose it and get someone else to fix it,
generally.
Nothing wrong here at all.
Others are specialists in hardware repair and would not know a Group
Policy from an XML schema. That's fine, too.
You seem to be judging tools by your own use for them, and people by
the tools they use. That is unwise.
Anyways, do what you like, so as I do.
I usually do. :?)
