I'm not sure what the policy is on this at this site but I know from experience that it did a lot to create harmony and friendships amongst members on the official site over a number of years. I know of HJ's and others thoughts on the idea but personally I made a lot of damn fine friends on the official board through the social threads and I honestly think it helped with everyone getting to know everyone else just that little bit better and accepting each other for who we are.
Just my thoughts ....
