   I couldn’t tell you why it happens. Some sort of herd sensibility thing. For me, It’s only if someone actually wanders across me. This reminded me that I haven’t got around to adding you or Charlie, so I’ve entered requests to do just that.

   Have fun at Worldcon!

   Most of them are probably spam/porn accounts, or someone went through and spammed a bunch of bands. Those are two usual reasons.

   Oh, and I friended you just now.

   Steve: I was wondering who that was! :-) I’ll friend you back.

   Victor: Most of them were writers of one stripe or another. *shrug* I’ve friended you back too. :-)

   Awesome. In that case, you got linked to from a group or somesuch, so everybody found you at the same time.

   Well, I got one friend request yesterday. I think it was through you.

   There was also an announcement this morning that there is a virus running on/through? myspace. It said something about friending in the blurb that I ignored.

   No, but if you’re near the bar Friday (or Saturday) night, make an appearance and I’ll pour you a single malt.

   (what can I say, it’s what I do.)

   Keep an eye out for a wandering Aussie in an Andromeda Spaceways shirt at Worldcon. (Edwina Harvey, mentioned before.)

   Re: myspace … either your pic or the ‘copyeditor’ in your display name could have caught their eye. Imagine if someone put ‘Literary Agent’ or ‘Film Producer’ - they’d be swamped in minutes.

   Oh, I know exactly why you got 20 MySpace friend requests, Deanna. I just blast-added about 500 friends in the past 2-3 days, and you’re on my top 12 friends list. Funny that this little side effect didn’t really occur to me…

   And ooh! ooh! I want your cell phone number so we can catch up at WorldCon. I’m going to be busy as hell, but I’m sure I must owe you a beer or two, and I am a man who likes to repay his debts. :-)

    Dave: I see. :-) I thought there had to be some explanation….

    Tom: I don’t know what you look like! If you spot me, be sure to flag me down to come have a drink. :-)
