This was probably already part of their marketing emails for a while, but it just rubs me the wrong way... We might just not share the same definition of what "friendship" means...

But honestly, I feel "let's be friends" quite contrary to what happened with the closing of the forums...
If that's what friends do, I don't think I want to be friends with that person / thing... At least not the way it was done...

He's good at it. He's got me so many great deals on clapped out motors in the past that he drives round in a brand new Jag.
I mentioned, possibly, that kind of 'friendship' in my note 'A celebration of the good friendship':
This is not to dismiss the importance of useful [..] relationships, being a part of nature they are also necessities and limits of the human. However, those kind of relationships does not give any guarantee that the relation is considered a friendship by all the parts, and they are not necessary prolonged to guarantee a study on them on a rational foundation.
