-------------------------------------------- Re: Friends (@tfurrows) 2019.11.01 16:31:52 CET -------------------------------------------- Thank you very much for your reply, tfurrows. I recently wrote about my experience with friends after moving abroad [0] and tfurrows had an excellent reply [1]. I failed in my original post to make a distinction between the different types of friends and friendships. I agree with tfurrows about embracing online friends and I could do a better job here. I'm just too concerned about the state of online communication these days and how they interfere with conversations specially about more polemical subjects. An awesome suggestion was sharing offline addresses and seeing what happens. Great idea! I don't want to post mine here directly (to avoid crawlers), but you can find it easily: go to http://search.ch and search for "Rodolpho Eckhardt" :) I will keep an eye out for other offline addresses here and prepare some letters. Thank you tfurrows! [0] gopher://sdf.org:70/1/users/sysdharma/phlog/./2019.10.15 [1] gopher://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/0/%7etfurrows/phlog/2019-10-30_reFr
