So now that I’m your buddy is there any chance that you have an unattached sexy sister? ---

Okay, **Scylla** , I clicked the button. How could I not do as you asked, when it was your “Ewes Sluts” that got me hooked on the SDMB in the first place? But since I still have my e-mail address hidden, I’m not sure what it buys you. Or can you send stuff to your whole buddy list even though some of the e-mail addresses are hidden? [hijack] Has anyone who has not hidden their e-mail address on this board gotten spam as a result?[/hijack] ---

Is it just me, or does the message it shows after you make someone your buddy seem a trifle awkward? > [@](#): > > … You will now be returned to where you were. **Syclla** will probably end up being the most buddied Doper, despite not having a clue who most of us are.

Okay. I signed up as your buddy, so I expect something out of this. Of course, right now, I’m kind of tipsy, but tomorrow when I’m at work, it will make work a whole lot more fun. (Considering I do nothing all day.) I hope this works! Skerri ---

**Scylla** , you know I’m your buddy. In fact, I am so your buddy that I can see through this whole “aren’t we all such good friends” thing and know that this is all just a social psychology web-experiment that you’re doing to see how many people will kiss your butt when you ask them to. -\>smack\<- (kiss on the cheek) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/an-important-request/97693.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/an-important-request/97693.md?page=4)
