I have a weakness for cake.

One of the catchiest songs ever written. LOVE this song. And want to go dancing with that drug company rep.
I miss the rising action though.

I've sent in my request now.
Not that's what I call loyalty to trekbbs -- a willingness to rejoin that which you previously rejected! (and probably wisely rejected, too)
Haha I didn't join because of TBBS ... I've been planning to rejoin ever since we decided to move across the country. It's just easier to connect with people this way, unfortunately, and with less than two months left here I need to coordinate meeting up with people.
OK, I have a FB etiquette question here. Is it dick of someone to ignore or reject friend requests from someone they only know on the BBS, whether on generally familiar terms from forums in which they both actively participate or only periphrally from forums in which they only occasionally post?
There are some people who i "know" on here by their posting name and not their real name so when I get a friend request from them, I have to search the FB comment thread in which everyone is giving their BBS name, then try and remember whether interactions (if any!) with that individual were positive enough to want to associate with them on FB at large. Similarly, I don't post a whole lot in Misc so some folks who I "know" from here, having recognized their names from threads we've both posted in, might not necessarily recognize a FB friend request from the real me as coming from SicOne. And depending upon how many FB friends you have already, prior to adding BBSers, it might render FB a little too large and unwieldy. It's already a massive timesuck for me as is.
And we have our fair share of, shall we say, unique individuals on the BBS who might choose to participate in the TrekBBS FB page as well, which is all good and fine, but I don't necessarily want their uniqueness liberally splattered across my own FB page or have to hide them...hence the wariness about friending someone on FB that I don't know very well from the BBS. On the BBS, you can hide your crazy, so to speak, but on FB it's a little more difficult.
Thoughts and comments are most welcome, good folks.

^ You sir, are just too sensible to be a user of Facebook. 
You are not obligated in any way to respond to a Friend request on Facebook or anywhere else.
As I posted in the TrekBBS Chat group:
So really you don't need to accept a friend request to use the chat, and I wouldn't worry about offending anyone. Having said all that, the chat has been going very well! There's a lot of activity and we've been having fun with it. Check it out!

We need a "Like" button on the BBS
Thanks, folks...I just didn't want to be thought of as a dick for not accepting friend requests. My 300 existing peeps is a little hard of a herd to watch over as is. If I know you from here I'll probably add you, or send you a request myself, but if I don't really know you I'll probably pass. No offense.
I agree about the "like" button.
And, as I said on the FB Chat thread, I also don't take offense if someone chooses not to accept a friend request on FB.
Personally, I tend not to send "friend" requests to TrekBBS folks on FB unless I've had interactions with them on here. However, if anyone here wants to friend me on FB, I'd be happy to get to know you better.
And, again, I really think Danoz did a great thing by creating that group.
