#1, I've talked to some very nice designers by being a little bit of a creepy fangirl, and in a couple of cases, have made a good friend. As someone who makes the random odd thing, it makes my day when someone likes my stuff enough to send a NC or IM to let me know. It's really sweet. That being said I know there are people who don't have as clear an idea of social boundaries and who think that a couple of cordial exchanges means you're BFFs now, and it's situations like that where our social graces come into play, tact, manners and all that.
#5, so thats like, what, SL palimony? why, to keep you in virtual shoes? I don't see the point really.
#6 if they published that on issu, I would so read it.
