For pete's sake, it's like screening calls using your answering machine, or recently on your cell phone. Or pretending you didn't see someone waving from the other side of the street, or nodding and excusing yourself to attend to something urgent - this is centuries old behavior, people!

Last week I wrote about how "Social Networking Analysts" are trying to psychoanalyze people from their Facebook status messages: http://sunili.wordpress.com/2008/05/23/analysing-facebook/ Have psychologists run out of things to talk about? Hard to believe, since last time I checked, there are still serious mental health issues around which seem a lot more important that IM/Fb status messages.
