Well... the original post was made in depression and despondency and was intended as a vent, not a question. It was stupid of me to allow comments, although I've never made a no-comments entry before and it just didn't occur to me to post other-than-normally.
As far as people having me on their friends-lists goes... I suspect that for most people it is mostly mascot-like rather than interest in Brian-as-a-person. I'm a collectible... everyone's pet rocket scientist, to be pulled out at appropriate intervals and displayed (and then re-shelved). I really doubt that most people would want to read my list, laden as it would be with personal, rather than work-related items.
But given your advice about the utility of the exercise, and having provoked a number of respondents here, I will compose one... (smile)
