just thought i would say hi confidenceman, i've only been on here for a couple of months, but its great, you get to gossip without leaving the house!

J20BABY · 27/02/2007 18:32

did i say gossip?!! of course, you all know i meant chat!!

You have only been on MN for 24 hours and already it looks like you are fishing for email addresses.

Generally people actually make friends with each other on here and then email exchange follows on naturally.

NomDePlume · 27/02/2007 18:35

it reads (to me anyway) as fishing for email addresses.

There are plenty of dating sites out there, y'know (of course, you have to pay for them...)

Hi CM, just sticking my head round the corner as I'm neither a lone parent or a dad, but just wanted to say you're obviously doing something right as I've never seen a newbies thread in active convos so much in all the time I've been posting on here

Welcome, btw.

quietmouse · 27/02/2007 18:36

why are people so suspicous on here?

NomDePlume · 27/02/2007 18:36

someone fishing for email addresses after being on a site like this for one day would make me suspicious.

But then I am a born pessimist

quietmouse · 27/02/2007 18:37

maybe he's looking to make friends?

nothing wrong with that. Being a single parent gets a bit lonely sometimes

By the same token, some older MN'rs can inform newbies of etiquette without racing over to other threads!

NomDePlume · 27/02/2007 18:39

it isn't that, CM. Make as many friends as you like here, the more the merrier, but don't be when slightly heavy handed, dare I say obvious tactics make people a bit

quietmouse · 27/02/2007 18:39

i know, don't worry about it, i'd email you any day!
