My buddy list is a lot bigger than I expected.

All this in one day.  I feel priviledged, although I think Dweller does have a point.

I'm greatful to all those who responded, but can't help questioning how this could have so easily been subject to abuse and how a great many weirdos could so easily gain access to online buddies.  I'm new to the whole concept of using forums but can already see how it could be open to abuse.

Kinda hypocritical really since I recieved so many online buddies through this post.  There are so many nice people here in QL (and some not so nice!), that I think people should geniunely be careful of who they actually disclose personal information to or meet with and if they do meet someone, make it a group meet and in a public location!  You really can't tell if they're going to turn out all stalkery.

Thanks to everyone though!  You guys are too nice! Cool
