to feel left out when MNs welcome each other like old friends..

[purplepeony]

rather than virtual friends?
How long do you have to be on MN to be a "friend"? Do you all know each other really? Does it matter to you? Does it make you not post on some threads as you feel you are gate crashing a clique? Does me.

I can;t think why rehtom would slag you off shiney

It's obviously a tribute name, Shiney...

Hey Shiney

'tis Gibbon...my silly name that came to me when I could not get the sleep last night. I
MN too much...

And Gibboninaribbon isn't silly then?

the sleep? to sleep.

Hell, I may make an error every other post so I have to correct it and boost myself up that list

The penguin thread was the reason I came back to mumsnet after accidentally straying onto it while doing some very Highbrow Academic Research (about bumsex). I've never looked back.

Well yes, you have a point

purple you have to act like you know another poster, using their name, asking them how they are etc. etc. joking around, and they will then be so amazed and excited that someone is sknowledging them (I refer you to Hecate's post) that they will be forever grateful and be your friend.

It's reciprocal.

I once insulted Slubber about her washing up bowls and now we are MN friends

Gibbonwithabibon?

i was in a quiche, but the egg don't half stain

Purple - I would stay well away from that Shiney one... tsk

Now, Reality is a different ball game >
