I just noticed tht I have over 400 friends on here. It is nice to have so many friends, the problem is that i don't even recognize half of them. I was just wondering how many friends ytou guys had and how many you knew or ever talked to. Do you have a lot, and if so how many do you recognize?

I actually don't know how many friends I do have. 3/4 of them I don't know and proably have never spoken with unless its through a discussion. I would say about 10 out of the so many friends are active here.

I only really know the friends on my first two pages, browsing through the rest of them I hardly recognized any of them.

I have lots of friends here but I don't know the exact number. I can recognize most of them because of the avatars. It is very helpful for me to know them. Believe it or not, you are one of my friends in the list and I can recognize you.

I don't recognize several of the people on my list either. I think a lot of them are inactive anyway. I always accept friend invites though. You never know. You might meet someone really cool. I always look at it as more opportunities to have discussions to respond to also. I recognize probably about twenty to thirty of the people on my list, as being regulars anyway.

I have now accumulated 12 pages of friends! I have been here a long time, I did do a purge where I deleted a lot of friends who have come and sadly gone, but those who come back I happily add again. I do have my special circle of friends, I have all of my friends on notifications! So I am always kept busy but discussions flooding into my email box! I recognize out of the 12 pages probably two dozen! There is a high turnover of people here and it's hard to keep track on everyone.

I am ALMOST sure... but I think it is WAMU who has the slogan "We Don't Nickel and Dime You" and then they go and charge $2 for ATM withdraws sheesh. Yeah they don't nickel and dime but they sure do take the dollars. Zelo

I haven't really counted... I think it is 7 pages... whatever that adds up to... well over 100 I would guess... Of those there are probably about a dozen that are active and who know who I am (at least Zelo[guy]) and I know them by their screen names. Thanks and great post Zelo

I just checked and I'm actually not far behind you I have 340 friends. I keep track of my friends through the "discussions my friends started" list mainly so any of my friends who aren't active or don't start a lot of discussions don't get much attention from me sadly. I try to respond to the discussions of people who respond to mine, and there are a few people I keep track of because I recognize their avatar and have enjoyed other discussions they have started so look out for them. That's not good if they keep changing their avatar's though so I try to keep track of their user names too.

Wow, 400 friends. That's quite a few. I have 103. I recognize most of them, especially if I see them in conversations or they respond to my conversations.

I don't have that many friends on here, nor on my other sites, but the friends that I do have are good ones! Some of them I have gotten to know pretty well, although I have never actually met in person! I recognize the ones I have, I keep a mental image of them, in my mind !

I only have about 70, so I can still recognize most of them. The email notification for discussions is how I interact with the posts. I don't PM folks much. I see some of the people here are related or just know each other very well from postings back and forth so much. And if you have such a stinkin' cute avatar or handle on here, I'll remember ya!! whit
