What do ''official friends'' on SF do? Are they like pen pals? I've never asked for a friend and have rejected a few requests even though I did like the requesters. I just figure if I want to message them I could and have done it a few times, but didn't have to do it regularly. I had a lot of penpals at one time (13) and simply got burned out and now only have one (16 years).
It's very simple, please read post #9 in this thread for an explanation.
