Oh the irony of discussing the pros and contras of a social network site from an email list ;o}
BTW - I am thinking of opening a virtual pub if any one fancies 'popping in' for a pint, Given the nature of the discussions / arguments and opinions on this list it will be called the "Pot and Kettle" Everyone's welcome and because it is virtual folk will be allowed to smoke in the Tap Room. Just a couple of rules, no comedy ringtones and anyone ordering a poncy cocktail will get barred. Scampi Fries anyone? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Tim Leslie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 2:45 PM To: "LEEDS LIST" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Essential Read Of The day > Completely disagree Mark, particularly the following snippet: > Why on God's earth would I need a computer to connect with the people > around me?
