I understand that Dash but I don't think that people do it intentionally. Basically cells phone mods is the context in which we all know each other. I don't know who specifically you are referring to but it's hard to have friendships outside of this context without actually seeing and meeting one another IMO. Not saying that we aren't all friends here or that we aren't a community.....but we all are here because of one common interest. With that said, I think that it would still be possible to have friendships outside of this context but you probably would need to take this up with people individually. For instance if you were on palringo and somebody asked you a question or for help.....tell them right then and there that you are not a live customer service rep and to post there question on the boards. This is the sort of thing that I think you would only have to say once for people to get the idea. Or....in this case, just from you sharing your feelings on this subject should be enough. Anyways Dash...just keep your head up buddy.
