I went for a little walk and now I see your point better.

It's a function and one uses it the way he chooses.
It is not designed for the production of some predefined results. Like cut and paste or sort or search. It is a facility.

It is in character with Web 2.0. Fluid (no obligation, neat). It is just the name that has implications by its own. If they called it bi-contact it would be the same function but not with the same impact and use. For an old fashioned old country old school old culture old romantic this friend function can be surprising. Like an ebook for an ancient monk. Progress.
I will use it the way I choose. Which is a big advantage. Thanks again.
