When I started using the internet, I used AOL IM, to make friends and communicate with people, then it was message boards, now I blog, only i don’t make too many friends doing it, I’ve got one or two but not many, you can hide behind a blog, as much as you can open up and share with people. I think what you did was brave, by emailing me and asking if I could link to you, having read your blog, and finding your email polite, I didn’t see why not, it’s good to share with people, and that’s what the internet should be for. I say keep on pestering people, after all if we didn’t talk to each other as humans, we’d never be in the computer age to begin with.
