OK, so I finally got enough friends on this place that I decided to start a family.
Don't ask me why. I'm sure the criteria is different for everyone; mine was pretty simple, I put those folks into the family list with whom I've had more than just passing clicks with. People I interact with most every day or so.
I'm sort of a geek when it comes to organization (although, if you were to see the condition of my room, you might dispute that). I'm sure it's a perfectly human thing to do to sort people out in one way or another.
Now, I don't want folks thinking I like some people better than others. That's not true, I like just about everyone I meet on whatever level or other. If you aren't family at this juncture, you might be at another.
And, let's face it, this is just LC. There's no contractual agreements with anyone here. At least, none that I've signed. ;)
