    It means that you owe $100 to whoever sent you the offer.

    I don't know, hence I'm asking.

    I am just discomforted at the thought of 'signing up' for friendship with someone (even if it's just online), or inviting someone to be my friend -
    when I am well aware that in a few days we could be at each other's throats over some topic.

    Also, I don't want to change or modify or ameliorate my input on some topic because it happens to be in disagreement with what one of my 'forum friends' thinks, nor do I want others to do that for me. I'm not into politics like that.

    I came here to discuss stuff. It never occured to me that there could be that sort of social, personal dimension to it. And now I'm torn.

    actually i am not crazy about this feature, but it is nice to have i suppose. i consider everyone here to be my friend and then some people may not have a friend and then i feel bad. i knocked everyone off my list but like i said everyone here is my friend.

    It doesn't have any real implications, it's just an indication that who offered you the friendship enjoys your posts.

    if you can't feel secure enough in a friendship to be able to express an opinion contradictory to that of your friend, then thats not much of a relationship...

    I agree. I don't think that friendship can be 'requested', or 'declared', or 'offered'. I find that too much at once.
    I think friendship either happens, develops, or it doesn't.

    Signal,
    I think we can be friends.

    You seem very mature, astute and erudite.
    You be my glue, I'll be your araldite.

    You seem very prudential, assertive and erudite. Just like Muff said you are erudite.

    Maybe you could become friends with people you generally agree with. Or with people you like no matter if you often agree with them or not..

    But whatever you do, don't make friends with Dutch people!

    The request itself is not really a request for friendship so much as it is a request to publicly acknowledge it

    I'm not sure calling me "funny" or listing that as the only reason for friendship is exactly flattering, but what the heck, it's Thursday, so why not?

    Request sent.

    PS, forget what I said about about Dutch people: I'd buy Enmos a drink any day of the week.
