There was no spam, and to read my email I needed permission from the university&#8217;s IT department manager. Every single time.

		<description><![CDATA[These days it&#8217;s hard to allocate the term &#8220;friend&#8221; to people that we only interact with online. When I was growing up, friends were the kids that we shared games of soccer, hide and seek, or board games with.
