paraphrasing Groucho
Another Facebook “friend” request from a foaf I’ve never heard of. This one appears to be a scientist, in a field of which I approve, and we have six “friends” in common – or five, not counting one of his peers whom I accepted as a “friend” because of his reputation though we’ve had no direct contact.
Though it’s not obvious what I could possibly lose by it, I’m a bit suspicious of any stranger who’d seek to be linked with a nobody like me.

character flaw
I’ve now watched three seasons of Lost, and am wondering a bit why Jack didn’t say to Ben, “Five minutes? I was a captive audience for two weeks; you could have told me then why ‘the good guys’ have been making war on us from day one. And now you want sympathy because some of your goons got hurt in yet another armed raid? I don’t owe you another breath.”
ogre don’t play that
