How do you decide when to add someone to your contacts?

Question

I go by points, previous answers, and if they know baseball. What do you go by? ALSO_ If you have that thing in your profile- EMAIL____ do you actually check the email and respond, or just ingnore it? I tend to ignore it.

ichoro, and yankee fan for life, i had added both of you, and you did not add me back, yet you say if a person adds you you add them back?

Answer 1

I go by the way they ask and answer questions..........I don't like "people" bashers or those who think that cursing is necessary........If someone doesn't like a particular team it's great to say so and state their opinions but when they starting bashing those who do like that team I wouldn't want them as a contact...........Many folks here are knowledgable in a variety of topics and know how to post and express their opinions..........Those are the folks I look for as contacts.......Yes I check the E-Mail and I do respond but before I respond I will check on that particular posters questions and answers..............CAT

Answer 2

I see if they seem knowledgable in a particular topic. If they have one answer and its completely off kilter, then I don't add them. If I see a person who really seems to know what they're talking about, and I really like some of their previous answers, I either add them or send them a message asking if its okay for me to add them. I check my email about once a day. I reply after I have come up with a well thought up response. If they had the time to write me a thoughtful message, then I like to have the courtesy to do so for them, too.

Answer 3

Yes, I respond to emails sent my way. Honestly.. I don't really add a lot of people. If I do its because I like their questions or their a fan of my eam. Occasionally I'll add someone who's added me but theres no real gurantee I'll add ya back.

Answer 4

If i like their answers..
or ask real good questions
i will add them
i value opinions grreatly even if i dont agree with them....
and as for email i do reply to most...
i have added you mainly because of your answers i have scene and the questions you have asked...
oh i do love baseball..played it ..coached it and at least respect most teams

Answer 5

I gave up on baseball after the strike,but if they have an answer to any question that i think is commendable,thought out,and close to the truth of the answer,I add them.Yes i answer all e-mails,even the ones whom disagree and wish to debate me.

Answer 6

Usually if they like baseball and if they add me as a fan sometimes i add them and sometimes i don't not trying to be mean

Answer 7

All right! Go for baseball. I love baseball! There's not a better sport. By all means, go for people who like baseball. My favorate position in baseball is quarter back. Just kidding :)

Answer 8

hm, this might be a little bit more english and a little less portuguese or french, they look about the same

i'd add someone when they show intrest in a specific subject that you look for, in your case, baseball, i try to look at their profile and see if they seem like a generally nice person

Answer 9

I've only ever added one, and I enjoyed his content (still do).

Conversely, I've been added by several dozen posters, probably for the same instinctive sense that compels us to check out recent, roadside wrecks -- just gotta see how bad it is.

Answer 10

when they truly love ,baseball,go to at least 20 games a year,collect baseball cards and dread the dark ,cold days of winter and cant wait to go to the new stadium
