That said, I wouldn't personally take the effort to contact BD (or anyone else) over voIP (skype..etc) or anything else. But, I'm a recluse. Your milage may vary. :) -- "Hrrngh!

His posts are chewing up resources on my computer. Granted, it's a few bytes; but... Those bytes could add up! In 20 years or so at this rate, he might even force me to delete an mp3 or something. Or delete this program. *grin*. -- "Hrrngh! Someday I'm going to hurl this...er...roll this...hrrngh.. nudge this boulder right down a cliff." - Goblin Warrior

If you really intended friendship towards anybody; you wouldn't be dropping their names on usenet to get a response from them. You'd be able to contact them directly, hehehe... -- "Hrrngh!

Your milage may > vary. :) I'm a bit of a recluse at times... I like to have my quiet time, but I also like the chit chat thing, too.. getting to know people and such. Voice is so much fun and I finally got skype on my laptop, which has a cam built into it, and I can do video chat now ( my desktop I can only voice chat cuz it doesn't have a cam.. but I can see other peoples cam pics if they have it going). THAT IS way fun to do, too! :D If you're up for a voice or video chat.. let me know. I'd love to put a voice and face with your text! -- Jenn (from Oklahoma) |
