It occurred to me the other day that I am at a point in my life where my social scale has outstripped my ability to realistically maintain it. I simply know too many people, and my desire to stay relatively intimate with all of them is simply impossible to fulfill. People I used to work with, old friends, acquaintances who I thought I'd get in touch with "real soon" and so on... just end up getting lost in the shuffle.
It's not personal, as in a deliberate decision, but just a plain wall of reality. I think in some ways I hope that this site will manage to mass-distribute me to them enough to keep some sense of connection, but my feelings about this sites success fluctuate on a daily basis. And so it goes.
