but I have never met anyone on FB that has less than 80 friends. Most people have hundreds. There is a kinship that some of the posters develop with others over the course of years posting on here.
I have more interaction on CB than I do with many of my friends on FB.
I think you underestimate how many bonds have been developed on this board of yours over the years.
In the case of TNT, he may not have any friends outside of CB.
