You have only been here a little over 2 years as FMF, unless you been here before as someone else.

True. I'd say it (helping someone out) is necessary but not sufficient (to denote friendship). So what else is required?

That was what I was looking for, you have had other accounts. 😉 Thank you!

In my humble opinion if people come on here JUST to make friends. They lead a very sad life. I actually for one feel sorry for them. I've been here since 2006, only under the name you see, have never used any other accounts.
I've made a few friends along the way, but didn't really TRY, it just kind of happened!!!
