    I have zero friends.

    I'm gonna change my name to "Friendless John".

    At least I won't need one of those lame "3D virtual chat characters" walking around half nekkid in a black speedo.

    LOL I think it is simply the replacement for the buddy lists. Everyone I had in the buddy list generated an email to make them my Friend instead. LOL!

    I wonder if we will get emails asking us to confirm our ignore list?

    Thanks

    I keep getting requests, but it's more fun to reject them, than to accept them.

    The thing I don't like about it is that it seems that whoever is on your friends list, everybody who is your friend [and their friend] can see the message. I read a fellow Polkies [what seemed to be "private"] message today that I doubt the recipient [or the sender for that matter] even knew others could read.

    Could someone explain the details before [foreseeable] fighting erupts?

    If you want it to be private....then send a Private Message, just like the old days.

    If you want it to be public....leave a "Visitor Message" or you may turn it off altogether in the options menu.

    You folks sure are technologically challenged for being a bunch of "audiophiles" :)

    This is turning into Mr. Freakin Rogers Neighborhood
    Boy, it's a strange day when people actually want to be my friend :rolleyes:
    Me??? :confused:

    It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
    A beautiful day for a neighbor.
    Would you be mine?
    Could you be mine?...

    It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
    A neighborly day for a beauty.
    Would you be mine?
    Could you be mine?...

    I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
    I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

    So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
    Since we're together we might as well say:
    Would you be mine?
    Could you be mine?
    Won't you be my neighbor?
    Won't you please,
    Won't you please?
    Please won't you be my neighbor?
