Someone wants to be my friend!
I notice that I've received a notification that someone on WoS wants to be my friend (or perhaps wants me to be their friend...)
No names mentioned to protect the guilty^H^H^H^H^H^H innocent.
So, what's this friendship thing all about, then? Should I expect requests to borrow money, and will we fall out if I don't remember to send Christmas cards for the next thirty years? :smile:

I just normally stick to PM's
Look at your profile it has a buddy list on it, you should have recieved a notification of some kind in the top right of the screen too?
( Just kidding, I just now sent my friend request to you, so it couldn't have been me ... this means you'll have to start another thread asking "Why did I get a Friend Request from that ZnorXman person/thingy?" )
Or is just simply a number of 'virtual friends' to add ?
bastids :)
errrrrrrrm
you just accept, then they sit there doing nowt really
And having said that I apoligise if I've not sent friend-requests to WoSsers who definitely ought to be on my friendlist ... hey, don't hesitate to send me a friend request! ;-)
Yes free access to all of your bank accounts........
No it's mate-mag!.....or something like that anyway? :D
Friend request sent! :p

I think I'm only missing one name for the complete set :D
Ha i'm not that stupid ! Anyway i've just changed my bank password so good luck ! Had an email requesting me to change it from my bank. Very handy as well as they supply a link in the email as well so no need to bother with finding it amongst my bookmarks. So nurrr

I also wanted to befriend you to offer my coding advice, for what it is worth, because you are making simplistic errors that could be easily corrected, and, rather than pull you up in public, I thought it best to do it, eventually, via PM.
I think it is great that someone is starting from scratch and wish someone had helped me early on to save wasted time.
The friendship thing is just a handshake. A formality. If I'd have known you would go public with it (even though everyone can see your 'friends' by checking your "View Public Profile" - click on the username just above your avatar) I might not have bothered.
Have fun.
And it's just because I like Mr. Gardner! Any friend of his is a (potential) friend of mine.
It bloody wasn't you! It was bloody well me!
I'm his best mate, not you! Sod off!
I have no grassy turf to off on to!
And "he" is a "she" ... at least that's what Mr. Gardner wants to believe!
Oh, my mistake.
If he's a girl then she can't program anyway, so we are all wasting our time!
I'm still confused about ZX Beccy.
I'm still confused about me! Frobush is a non sexual name and the number of times people have tried to have cybersex with me, all 5 sexes, is quite an eyefull!
EDIT - I've only ever met one female programmer over the 30 odd years - and she was RUBBISH!
Thanks for that, although I assume you can only know about my simplistic errors because I've been asking questions in a public forum... so I actually choose to 'go public' myself, and if, as a result, some people think I'm a clueless buffoon, then I can take it! :smile:
Also, as far as I can tell, you haven't sent me any PMs offering advice 'in private' as a result of my simplistic errors -- and presumably you could (or could've) sent PMs with or without my being your 'friend'?
The reason I 'went public' (although that seems an odd way to put it when, as far as I can see, everyone's friend list is public information anyway) was just -- as my OP said -- to ask what, if any, implications there are to having 'friends' on this forum. Or, to put it another way, is there any 'point' to this forum-friend concept.
I don't think I'm any the wiser on that -- as far as I can see it doesn't offer any additional privileges or functionality. Perhaps someone can correct me on this if I'm mistaken.
I'm happy to proceed in whatever way would make you happiest: I had accepted your offer of friendship (although, as I say, I don't know in what way that's an advantage -- or a disadvantage -- to either of us!), but, if you're now regretting the offer, I'm happy to 'delete' you as a friend -- assuming it works like that.
I meant to mention in my previous reply, that, if it makes any difference to anything, I am male...
I can assure you, though, that my maleness doesn't mean I can program! ;)
Old man Samwise is going to be so disappointed!
"It's the Crying Game all over again!"
It'll do nothing to quell the rumours about him in the Gamgee family ("always up the Bag End" so they say). His Uncle Andy was particularly free when it came to spreading them...
friend. he's your friend *smirks*
frrrrrrrieeeeeend
I may have a 'Crying Game' moment when i visit someone in Thailand!:grin:
