But how do you know that you don't know the person from elsewhere if they are using a different nick?

DW, if you click on a friend's photograph in your profile you have instant access to their profile so can tell if they are on line you can also send a message without having to search for them. I find it useful if I wish to contact fellow Moderators quickly but rarely send PMs to anyone else .

Well I don't know that many people online anyway and these are people I have known for a while and trust, I would be surprised if there were that many others on here I might know from elsewhere.

Re: Friend Requests

I have never refused a request nor deleted anyone, been deleted meself a few times but that never bothered me.
I think it takes a certain amount of courage for a person to ask to be a friend, and to refuse could be very hurtful to a genuine person.
When you’ve been here for a while the friends list acts as a reminder of old friends. Several of my friends still showing on my profile have passed on and whenever I look there, which is not very often, I think of them and say a silent prayer for their souls, they will stay there for as long as I’m here, I consider meself lucky to have them there in the first place, God rest them.

No one of a sensitive nature should post on forums, imo.

I am not hard hearted, but I don't get upset about trivia as some people seem to do. Besides which, forums are virtual reality, not real life.
