Sometimes it's kind of nice... other times I'm not so crazy about seeing a dozen PMs from random people and getting e-mails from people who aren't even AT members but ask me that way.

I've drawn the line at no requests for phone calls.

Not really I guess. I can't say that I don't have respect for some people on this forum though. There is some merit to having respect for someone due their ability to express an idea or thought clearly in writing. There are so many people who can't seem to do that no matter what medium they are using to communicate.

No, but I can name a few spammers on here who seem to.

The way you get popular with me is by posting interesting posts, not tons of garbage.

Without getting too personal.

What's you aversion to talking on the phone with a total internet stranger? Just curious :)

I don't like talking on the phone in general. Talking to people I don't know from random parts of the country adds an additional level of creepiness to it.

I could call you and do some heavy breathing to enhance that ;) j/k

Yes. No one ever gave me attention in the real world, so I have no choice but to attempt to find some here.

Having seen the "Before and After" pics I would have to say she's a MUCH bigger handful now! :D
Or am I thinking of someone else...?

Now how sad do you have to be to compete for popularity online. In real life is bad enough, but online???

No... I just come to be informed about things and laugh at the funny stuff. And help out if I can.
