Whereas to me, what you describe sounds fantastically superficial and impersonal, whereas in sending a personal eMail I've had to actually, deliberately think about my interaction with them. I suppose context goes a long way.

- EliRivers 13y agoyou have opened up your life to them on a semi-permanent basis You have opened a lifetime of impersonal comments directed at a disinterested crowd. By its very nature, it won't be personal. "I'm having beans for dinner." "Beans a legend lol" "I'm getting divorced and I've told you and the other five hundred 'friends' here at the same time, in the same way"
