OK, the friends thing..... There are people I like on here and people I cannot stand (bet you're all surprised to learn that, huh?) I believe that most of that is reciprocal to a certain extent. but whether I like you or not has absolutely no bearing on whether i will agree with you, back you up, stay out of it or rip you a new one when you state your opinion on here. That all depends on what crap/wisdom is eminating from your fingertips, whether I'm here, whether I'm reading that thread, whether I give a fig and whether I think my involvement will have any benefit. and yes, my own amusement is one benefit. If I keep stum it doesn't mean I don't care

I have no idea if most people here feel like this or will back their "friends" regardless of how stupid they're being (friends don't let friends drive drunk....). But that's how I see it.
