Heidi is a very recent addition to my flist (last two weeks?) but I think she's about my age. I'm 33.
I see this as a story about the dangers of being a BNF. One small misunderstanding becomes a huge F_W thing. I find it believable that if I were approached by someone I didn't really know (note that I don't know who Heidi does and doesn't know) and asked to do this, I might not have time *right at that moment* to do it. I might not even respond to the request at all, let alone say if you make a post to f_a I will link to that. But it would't be wank, because I'm nobody. Heidi has two kids and is about to give birth to a third, a husband, a job, a very busy website, and her email-doohicky hasn't been working. ::shrug:: I barely have time to read my flist, let alone post and comment to the extend that I want to, and I don't have the kids, husband, or website to take up my time.
When people on my flist need something, big or small, I help out if I can. But I can't take care of the whole internet. And, unlike many people, I know who is on my flist because I chose them, and I don't automatically friend back.
