In reply to the discussion: How many DUers can contact you away from DU ? [View all]pipi_k

none.
I don't mind being friendly to, or with, DUers, but I really don't want my online life to intersect with my RL.
It's nothing personal, though.
I'm not a very good friend, I'm afraid.
I sometimes have fits of depression that cause me to lose contact with people for a long time. Fortunately, my long-term RL friends (40+ years) understand and don't hold it against me. We just take up where we left off before I crawled into my shell.
So I really don't need any more reasons to feel guilty about not staying in personal contact with people...

At least those few can contact you when they miss you for any length of time.
